Bitlocker on a device with three disks - what do I need to do before I can safely install Ubuntu?

Multi tool use
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I want to install Ubuntu on my Lenovo T430. Right now I have 3 disks in the laptop.
- 240 GB SSD (Windows 10, Bitlocker enabled)
- 120 GB mSATA SSD (Empty, this is the one that i want to install Ubuntu)
- 2 TB HDD (Data drive, Bitlocker enabled)
Secure Boot is disabled, boot mode UEFI / No CSM
Do I need to decrypt Bitlocker on my Windows SSD drive before trying to install Ubuntu?
I do not want to decrypt it because, it said I need to unencrypt all devices that I encrypted before (it means 3 external, 1 internal drive)
Is there any risk for installation? I do not want to toss my Windows drive.
I do not need to reach the Windows SSD drive or 2 TB data drive.

Do I need to decrypt BitLocker on my Windows SSD drive before installing Ubuntu?
You don't need to decrypt BitLocker on your Windows SSD drive before installing Ubuntu.
Is there any risk for installation?
Select the Something else option in the Installation type screen of the Ubuntu installer, and then install Ubuntu in the empty space of the 120 GB mSATA SSD. There is no risk for installation when you select the Something else option, as long as you are careful to select the 120 GB empty SSD and not the 240 GB which has Windows 10 installed on it.
In Windows PowerShell the Disable-Bitlocker command can be used to disable BitLocker Drive Encryption for a BitLocker volume: Disable-BitLocker.
