    A Question about BitLocker to Go function


    Hello. I'd like to encrypt my flash drive using BitLocker. I believe in order for me to access my files on another machine, it has to run Window of course and a version that supports BitLocker.

    My flash drive is 32Gb. What else should I keep in mind before encrypting it? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for your support.

    A Question about BitLocker to Go function

    Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

    Hi,

    We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

    • You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
    • The drive must be BitLocker-protected.
    To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click
      System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
    • A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

    Let us know how it goes.
