How To Enable (Install) BitLocker On Windows 10
10BitLocker is a tool built into Windows that lets you encrypt an entire hard drive for enhanced security. Here’s how to set it up.
When TrueCrypt controversially closed up shop, they recommended their users transition away from TrueCrypt to using BitLocker or Veracrypt. BitLocker has been around in Windows long enough to be considered mature, and is an encryption product generally well-regarded by security pros. In this tutorial, we’re going to talk about how you can set it up on your PC.
On Windows 10, if you keep sensitive files on your device, it is crucial to take the necessary steps to protect them, and this is when BitLocker comes in handy. BitLocker is a feature that has been around for a long time, and it provides a way to encrypt the data on the hard drive to prevent unauthorized access to your information.
In a nutshell, encryption is the process of making any data unreadable without proper authorization. When you use encryption to scramble your data, it will continue to be unreadable even when sharing it with other people. Only you with the proper encryption key can decrypt the data to make it usable.
If you've never use BitLocker before, the feature offers two methods of encryption, including hardware-based encryption using Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip and software-based encryption using a password or USB flash drive to decrypt the drive and continue booting into Windows 10. Also, the feature allows protecting the data on the installation drive, secondary storage, and removable media with "BitLocker To Go."
