BitLocker is seen to be a security feature added in Windows Vista that gives protection to the computer's file system. When encrypted, others cannot be able to see your files in your computer, even if your computer is stolen or the hard disk was taken. It is important to note that BitLocker can also work on a removable storage device. What will you do if you want to access an encrypted drive? You (user) must log in to access the data.
It came to our notice that Windows also use Trusted Platform Module (TPM), to ascertain if your computer startup process has added to a machine to offer security functions, but they are mainly focused on the encryption of data. By using both "BitLocker" and "Trusted Platform Module" the entire data is locked and before one can assess the information he or she must pass to the machine all the right credentials.
You can see the setup wizard in either the Windows explorer or control panel. NOTE: the operating system must exhibit the "Trusted Platform Module" to fully take advantage of the encrypted folder.
Step 1: Search for BitLocker in the Windows search bar, or highlight the drive you wish to encrypt.
Step 3: Choose a password. Note that it is best to use a long and complex password, not a shot one.
Step 4: Insert the password on the dialog box that displays at this point, confirm it by writing that same password again on another dialog box under it and click on "next" button.
Step 6: Click on the next button after saving the recovery key. At this point, you will be required if you are ready to encrypt the drive. This process might take a while depending on the source of the drive we are encrypting.
