BitLocker is a full disk encryption feature included with Windows Vista and later. It is designed to protect data by providing encryption for entire volumes.
What is BitLocker?
BitLocker is Microsoft’s easy-to-use, proprietary encryption program for Windows that can encrypt your entire drive as well as help protect against unauthorized changes to your system such as firmware-level malware.
BitLocker is available to anyone who has a machine running Windows Vista or 7 Ultimate, Windows Vista or 7 Enterprise, Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 Enterprise, or Windows 10 Pro. If you’re running an Enterprise edition, chances are your PC belongs to a large company, so you must discuss enabling BitLocker encryption with your company’s IT department.How to Use?
If you’re running WIndows 10 build 1511 or later, you’ll be asked to choose your encryption mode: new or compatible. If you’re encrypting your onboard storage drive, then choose new. The compatible mode is mostly for removable drives that will be used with older versions of Windows that do not have the “new” encryption mode.
