    BitLocker Availability Question ?


    Hello, Surprised to see that BitLocker is not part of the W10 Home ed. Any place on the web where it might be downloadable from ? Or something very, very similar and super easy to use, free or inexpensive, suggestion ? Want to password protect an entire USB Stick. Not just individual files inside. Thanks again for all the previous helps. Great Forum. Thanks, Bob

    :)

    BitLocker Availability Question ? [​IMG]




    I followed the step 1 instructions in that link you posted...


    So i should now turn on bitlocker to see if it works? Or do I need to do both step 2 and 3 in that link you posted... before I turn on bitlocker?

    Thanks saw that mistake. I post some more pictures. So what do you want me to do now? Do step 2 and 3 in that link you posted? Or try to turn on bitlocker right now after doing the 1st step? Im not sure if in that link, they want you to do all 3 steps or not? Or is it try step 1... if it works, thats it and then turn on bitlocker?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I am doing step 3.... I did the first part of step 3 and it showed tons of words which meant i entered it correct. But the last step of step 3... i seem to get error? What am i typing wrong here?

    Brink thanks. Looking at the steps, 1st step is not necessary right? I think last time i didn't do anything to this but is 256 bit much better than 128 bit?


    Since i want TPM with pin... i do step 4 right?


    I have TPM 1.2 when checking my laptop.
