I have 2 partitions. C and D. Both are bitlocker encrypted. If I reformat C drive and reinstall Windows, will I be able to access D drive again after reinstalling Windows?

The only effect it will have is turning off auto-unlock, if you have it enabled

with the key you have for it, you can swap it even into another system

Both partitions are on same drive. I dont have any key. I have an alphanumeric password

that's what I meant with key. It should still be fine, even on the same drive
