I didn't even know of this program embedded inside WINDOWS. A very useful and secure tool for your files. Thank you Britec for this. You are always finding the right tools for we consumers to protect our data. Much obliged, sir.

When bootup its shows "BItlocker" heading. Any chance to change this title? I don't want to show this heading. when drive become bad or file corruption its possible to unlock drive? and can take files backup?

[MichaelwAEL]

Once logged on I assume the drive is decrypted so can you uses a backup app to backup the data which I assume is unecrypted?

Does this total drive encryption slow things down much? I have never used it so don't know first hand. i5 - four core - 3270

Is applying Bitlocker To Go on an external USB portable hard drive basically the same process? Do I need to use Bitlocker first on the boot drive C? Can the external drive be plugged into a Windows 7 PC after applying Bitlocker To Go on the external drive?

I like how this is built into windows. I have a question though: Does this encrypt on the fly going forward and if so, does it affect performance (like gaming)?

[welshtony]

Work uses bitlocker and never thought about doing it myself. Looks simple enough to set up

Im looking for a way to encrypt my 4 HDDs in my Windows 10 Pro Nas. I need all files to be encrypted when the PC is powered off.
How long does encrypt/decrypt take for around 30 TB in Data (redundant so 60TB).

Great Video btw. Helped out a lot.

I have 2 PCs and 1 Laptop and they're networked. All my files are stored on PC 1 and it's really just used as a Server. If I add the Bitlocker Password to all 3 computers, will I have to log-in to PC 1 everyday (ie. key in the Password) to allow PC 2 and Laptop access to the files over the Network? At present (without Password), I just turn on PC 1 and within a minute I can access files via PC 2/Laptop.

[mrbrittas]

what if they put the drive into a usb on another pc and not boot into it but explore it as a D: drive will it be locked still?

[richarddutton]

Does encryption have any affect on gaming and things like that?

[ptmchef]

Is there a performance hit encrypting the boot drive?

[drumpfall]

Thanks. Good topic. In the end, I'm not a big fan of Windows but if you're going to use Windows, bitlocker is good enough for most people.

I just purchased a Lenovo Thinkbook Laptop. Acronis woud not see my "C" SSD NVMe M.2. Found out the drive has hardware encryption, but does not ask for password. Can you explain hardware encryption.
