Yes. To upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 without decrypting the operating system drive, open the BitLocker Drive Encryption Control Panel item in Windows 7, click Manage BitLocker, and then and click Suspend. Suspending protection does not decrypt the drive; it disables the authentication mechanisms used by BitLocker and uses a clear key on the drive to enable access. Proceed with the upgrade process by using your Windows 8 DVD or Windows 8.1 upgrade. After the upgrade has completed, open Windows Explorer, right-click the drive, and then click Resume Protection. This reapplies the BitLocker authentication methods and deletes the clear key.

Warning: If you are creating a Zip file in the folder window using the context menu (right-click), you can choose to encrypt the file and select the encryption strength (if the Add dialog is displayed). If you choose to add a file to an existing Zip file using Add to recently used Zip file, the Add dialog box will not be displayed, so the file cannot be encrypted when the file is added. In this case, you can encrypt the file after it has been added.
Install 7-Zip on your Windows computer. You can go for the portable version, as well, but portable versions do not integrate with the Windows system. Thus, you will not be able to get the right-click context menus, and you will have to do everything from within 7-Zip. The 7-Zip works on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 including the Linux or Unix based operating systems.
Step 2: Select "Manage BitLocker" from the context menu by right-clicking on the icon. This step opens the BitLocker Drive Encryption window, which displays a list of all storage units and their encryption state.
