Device Encryption for Dell windows 10

Hello mlpilger, *Smile

Device encryption helps protect your data, and it's available on a wide range of Windows devices. If you turn on device encryption, the data on your device can only be accessed by people who've been authorized.

It depends on you if you would like to turn back on Device Encryption or not, but it will help protect your data as mentioned above if needed by you.

How to Turn On or Off Device Encryption in Windows 10

You will only need the BitLocker recovery key if Device Encryption is turned on and you are unable to unlock it at startup as usual.

If you do turn on Device Encryption, be sure to back up the BitLocker recovery key afterwards. I would recommend to at least back up to your Microsoft account if you sign in to Windows 10 with it.

No changes. This option didn't appear all of a sudden, it existed from the day I got the laptop.

Version - 1607

It's BitLocker only. I once tried encrypting the device using this option and the encryption process was successful (also got that recovery key), later I decided to decrypt the drive.

Encryption (with this option) works perfectly fine.

Even the "Encrypt contents to secure data" option appears and works perfectly fine.

If it is a bug then even after 4 feature updates it should have been removed,

right?

Whatever the case be I happy I have this option (BitLocker encryption) but wished if same was available on all my Windows 10 Home PCs
