    Change BitLocker Encryption Method and Cipher Strength in Windows 10


    Hi

    Am just about to do this and need to step back. I will use the stronger cipher for all but USB drives. I will use a usb drive for authentication as well the windows password (if that's possible).

    However, I have been used to using Truecrypt, partitioning all my drives to separate O/S and data. Truecrypt helpfully offered the function to mount the data drive/partition along with the system drive when the boot key was entered (as long as same key was used for both o/s and data partitions).

    Now the real point of my post.....
    This worked really well and allowed me to move the locations of special folders to the data drive from where I backed these up, altogether, pictures, music, videos, downloads and desktop. The latter may be an issue with Bitlocker if unlike Truecrypt, it does not offer a way of mounting data drive along with o/s at boot time - otherwise the desktop and taskbar will probably not populate properly at boot.

    Need to understand this before I start encryption.

    It looks like I have to encrypt the partitions separately... or can they be encrypted together i.e. whole system drive including data partition....? Happy to use the same key for both as I did with Truecrypt.

    Just need to know that my desktop will load at boot from the data partition if I move the special folder to data partition.

    Hello Kevin, How to change BitLocker Encryption method & Cipher Strength in Windows 10 :)

    That's correct. BitLocker will encrypt per drive instead of whole hard disk.
