    Installing Bitlocker to encrypt

    Hello,

    To install BitLocker, your PC must satisfied system requirements. We'd like to clarify, what edition of Windows 10 do you have? In addition, you must be logged in as an admistrator and have an access to printer to print the recovery key.

    If you're using Windows 10 Pro and meet the requirements, follow these steps to enable BitLocker.

    • Click Start. Type Control Panel.
    • Click System and Security.
    • Click BitLocker Drive.
    • Hit Turn on BitLocker.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 and Bitlocker

    I have Windows 7 Pro and need Bitlocker. If I upgrade from Windows 7 Pro, would the Windows 10 version I get include Bitlocker?

    Or is there another way to get Bitlocker, other than buying the Ultimate version of Windows 7, which seems to me like a bad option since I'd be paying to upgrade an obsolete OS.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
