  1. Is it possible to enable device encryption in windows 10 home?


    we have a lot of windows 10 home editions in our organization, so we planned to enable device encryption in the windows home machines.

    is it possible to enable or not?


    if it is possible, kindly share the steps to enable the device encryption.


    or


    Please suggest any third-party software available for disk encryption.

  2. Windows 10 BitLocker Drive Encryption AND Device Encryption enabled?

    Recently I looked into enabling "BitLocker Drive Encryption" on Windows 10 Pro. After enabling it, I discovered that "Device Encryption" under Settings -> Update and Security -> Device Encryption was already enabled. This is a new Lenovo laptop from 12/2020,
    bought from Lenovo with Windows 10 installed. I never enabled Device Encryption, so I'm guessing it was enabled by default. Does it matter if both "Device Encryption" AND "BitLocker Drive Protection" are BOTH enabled? Should I disable one of them?
