    Some OEM's like Dell sell laptops with WIndows 11 Home installed on BitLocker-encrypted drives. Windows 11 Home can only read BitLocker drives, but it cannot encrypt or decrypt BitLocker them. OS images stored on Recovery portions of drives restore OS to BitLocker-encrypted form.

    Is it possible to add BitLocker support to Windows 11 Home edition via DISM (like with MSMG Toolkit) ? What about Remote Desktop?

    Just upgrade to Pro and above editions with the respective generic keys, then use either KMS_VL_ALL or MAS to activate.

    I don't see the point of wasting time to extract the various files needed by the features and then frankensteining them into an existing Windows installation which may or may not work OR get broken in the future by Windows update.
