Question: Can I access my BitLocker-protected drive if I insert the hard disk into a different computer?

[alex47]

In question: Can I access my BitLocker-protected drive if I insert the hard disk into a different computer? The answer doesn't mention whether a BitLocker encrypted system drive can be unlocked in another computer if we have the recovery key. I'm assuming the system drive refers to the C: drive in the documentation.
