I wasn't able to get WSL set up, but instead I've fired up a Rescatux VM. When using dislocker-metadata -V /dev/sdb I get the error [ERROR] The sector size is null.. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or was it just not able to find anything? (Or maybe issues with the VM)?

But trying to get WSL set up is my next step. Worst case scenario, I could contact some IT colleagues and see if an exception could be made. | |

@BenjaminKrausseDB: If your work policies permit it, you can use a bootable Fedora or Ubuntu USB drive. Note that the dislocker package probably won't be installed on those, so you'll need internet access to install it once you boot up.

@BenjaminKrausseDB You could try mounting the disk inside WSL: devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/… learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk hanselman.com/blog/wsl2-can-now-mount-linux-ext4-disks-directly probably with wsl --mount <DiskPath> --bare
