How to use BitLocker properly?

Once you have identified and selected the desired drive, click on the "Turn on BitLocker" button to commence the encryption process. This action will initiate a series of prompts and options that you need to navigate through to configure your encryption settings.

During the configuration process, you will be asked to choose how you want to unlock your drive after encryption. BitLocker offers various options, including using a password, a smart card, or even a USB drive. Select the method that best suits your needs and security preferences.

To initiate the process of encrypting your drive with BitLocker, the first step is accessing the Control Panel on your device. Once there, locate and click on the "System and Security" option, which serves as the gateway to various security-related settings.

Within the "System and Security" section, scroll down or browse until you find the "BitLocker Drive Encryption" feature. This feature is designed specifically for securing your drives through encryption, preventing unauthorized access to your sensitive data.

Upon selecting "BitLocker Drive Encryption," a list of available drives on your system will be presented. From this list, carefully choose the drive you wish to encrypt. Ensure you select the correct drive as the encryption process cannot be easily reversed or undone for the selected drive.
