Discus and support Is there any way to get Bitlocker full disk encryption (not device encryption) on a laptop... in Windows 10 Ask Insider to solve the problem; I’m part of a Microsoft 365 Home family plan.

  1. Is there any way to get Bitlocker full disk encryption (not device encryption) on a laptop...


    I’m part of a Microsoft 365 Home family plan. Is there any way to implement full disk encryption using Bitlocker in this scenario? Or is Bitlocker FDE exclusively available to Windows 10 Pro editions? Device encryption isn’t enough for my use case - I need to be able to prompt users for a password upon booting.

    Thanks!

  2. Device Encryption and BitLocker

    Hello MS Community!

    Posting a subject name as Device Encryption and BitLocker, would it be correct to have it as: BitLocker Device Encryption and standard BitLocker?

    It's been way too late for me to know about Device Encryption and I hope the experts about this subject here in the community could share more information on the following:

    - What kind of encryption does Device Encryption and BitLocker use?

    - Device Encryption and BitLocker difference in disk encryption (i.e. encryption level, technology/security, comparison sheet would be highly appreciated)

    - User login/experience - I receive a feedback that Device Encryption only asks for Microsoft Account login unlike BitLocker which require a separate password to unlock the disk before a user can totally login to Windows. Also, is there a difference in performance
    speed (Windows startup, performing activities, etc.)

    - If Device Encryption and BitLocker is both available in the device, is it recommended to enable both or just the BitLocker?

    - For Windows Home Edition, I would like to confirm if Device Encryption requirement to have TPM 2.0 and InstantGo hardware support still remain the same.

    Thank you in advance!

    Device Encryption and Bitlocker not appearing

    Hi, I have a Dell inspiron 7570 laptop with windows 10 installed. Recently due to some issues a new hardrive was installed on the laptop so now it has 2 hardrives. However when I was booting up the hardrive that has my OS installed, it kept asking me for
    the Bitlocker key everytime on startup. As you can expect its annoying having to write in a long bitlocker key. I was looking for solutions online and one person suggested to turn off encryption and then restart the computer and then turn it on again. I did
    that, I went into "Device encryption" in settings and turned it off, then restarted my computer, however now "Device encryption" option has completely disappeared from the settings area, I can't seem to find any way to turn on Bitlocker or device encryption,
    I'm not sure why it has disappeared. I thought it would allow me to turn it on again but it has just disappeared. Could anyone help me turn encryption on again please? It sounds a little crazy but "device encryption" option just disappeared after turning it
    off and restarting.
