How to restore Windows 10 bootloader with Bitlocker enabled?

Good afternoon.
On a computer with Windows 10 installed, I carelessly deleted a 100 megabyte partition at the beginning of the disk. At the same time, the partition with the operating system is encrypted with BitLocket. Can you please tell me if it is possible to restore the bootloader under such conditions? With the standard bootloader recovery, the bcdboot command asks for the path to the boot source (for example, c:\windows), but I cannot specify this path, because. the disk is encrypted.
I have a BitLocker recovery key.

I would be grateful for help.

Boot into Live Windows and use file recovery utilities (like Active Undelete) to extract all files from the 100 Mb partition, then recreate the partition and put the files back.
In the case of MBR, it will be necessary later in the recovery of Windows 10 launched from a bootable USB flash drive, to make that partition active.

curious ...
100 MB is one of the 3 main partitions? in the course of the UEFI bootloader ..
preliminary opinion - it can be restored without access to the main partition
how? and for what time? .. it's a matter of your desire to restore the encrypted partition and / or boot from it
, I do not promise anything. but if you really need it, get in touch. I emphasize - I will first express my opinion, and then you decide
