    Password Protecting Sensitive Data

    Thanks. Sorry for the noobishness, but would the encrypted folders also be password protected so they couldn't be accessed even if the person had the computer or drive?

    Encrypt/ password protect a drive in win 10 pro

    Password protecting and/or encrypting a file

    I'm a new user of Windows 10 and I have a file with lots of sensitive information that I want to protect with the extra security of encryption or password protection. In Excel I can encrypt a file but for some reason I can't seem to find a way to either
    password protect a document or encrypt it. Example: I wrote out all my passwords on a sheet of paper and took a picture of it. On my cell phone I password protected it to access it and I want to do something similar on Windows 10 files. When I did a search,
    it said encryption is not an option on Windows 10....true? If that's not, how can I password protect my file/picture?

    Many thanks. Slowly, I'm learning Windows 10!!!
