Some newer HP laptops come with BitLocker enabled -- and that encrypts the entire drive.  You can tell the volumes are encrypted because then you look at them in File Manager, you will see special icons for the drives.

 

The first thing you are supposed to do with a BitLocker-enabled PC is use the MS utility to save the key to an external USB stick.  That way, you have the key if you need to enter it later to decrypt the drive.

 

If you did not save the key, and do not know the key, I know of no way to recover it now.

 

As to retrieving files, that's why folks need to do backups -- so they have a copy of the files in situations like this.

 

Without a backup, you are stuck because drive recovery software will not work on BitLocker encrypted drives.
