  1. BitLocker on new SSD drive?


    I just got myself a new SSD internal drive I have NOT added any data yet to the SSD, and it is already FULLY encrypted with BitLocker using the Software-based encryption mode. I heard that when using SSDs, data should be added AFTER when the encryption completes because SSDs are more prone to leak data?

    By the way, yes, I am aware that SSDs are capable of being encrypted in Hardware-based mode, but using it as Software-based encrypted mode there is no performance impact on my laptop. Runs just fine.

    :)

    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.

    BitLocker on new SSD drive?

    Fixed Drive Detected as Removable in Bitlocker

    My system has 2 data drives in addition to the boot drive which is SSD. While windows detects both drives as fixed drives Bitlocker reports one of the drives as removable and so I cannot set it to auto-unlock. Any suggestions on how to change this behavior
    and make Bitlocker report correctly?
