    BitLocker: turn on auto-unlock without encrypting OS Drive (SSD)

    I have the following configuration:

    C (OS Drive) - SSD (128Gb)

    D (Data Drive) - Normal Disk (1Tb)

    D is encrypted using BitLocker but C is not encrypted.

    I want to turn on auto-unlock on D, but get the following message: "The operating system drive is not protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption." - is there a way around this? I would ideally not want to encrypt my SSD.

    I've moved my page file to D, but since the drive must be manually unlocked I get page file errors.

    Thanks!

    SSD to support hardware based full disk encryption via BitLocker?

    Hi everyone:

    I'm trying to build a new desktop PC and I'm wondering if you can
    suggest which SSD (and motherboard) do I need to purchase to have it
    support hardware based full disk encryption with Windows 10 via
    BitLocker?

    I'm currently settling on Intel Core i9-7900X Skylake-X 10-Core 3.3
    GHz CPU that has to go into the Intel X299 Chipset motherboard.

    So I was checking, for instance "Samsung 970 PRO 512GB - NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD".

    But will it support hardware based full disk encryption? And if no, which one will? I'm looking for faster M.2 drives.
