Drive Encryption BitLocker I'm currently encrypting my 2TB files drive on D:\ and my 500GB C:\ Drive on windows 10 using Bitlocker. This is for if you have to work from home with "Sensitive Documents" or files from work, or if you travel with a laptop that must have windows 10 due to applications needs or other factors. If you encrypt your device, the damage from theft or loss is much smaller than if left unencrypted. I will post some links to show how to enable Bitlocker without a "Trusted Platform Module" hardware unit. You will use a password. Select a strong password using passgen with around 20-40 characters and write it down and store it in a safe until you can memorize the sequence. Bear in mind that nothing that you do on windows 7,8,10 etc is private. Use this only for work files and documents that you need to protect from physical interdiction, theft or accidental loss that you must use with or in conjunction with Windows or Windows applications.
