BitLocker is like a secret lock for your computer’s hard drive. It scrambles all your files so that they’re unreadable unless you have a special key. Even if someone takes your hard drive out and puts it in another computer, they can’t see your files without that key.

How to set up:

1. Click the Start button and search for “BitLocker” or open Control Panel and you can access it from there.
2. Select the removable USB drive.
3. Press “Turn on BitLocker”.
4. Select “Use a password to unlock the drive”, make sure to create a secure password and press Next.
5. In this step you’ll have to save the recovery key for the selected drive, you can choose which option suits you better.
6. After you make sure that you saved your recovery key press Next.
7. For better security choose “Encrypt entire drive” and press Next.
8. Since we are talking about a removable drive, we are going to choose “Compatible mode” at this step and press Next.
9. Now we can start our encryption by pressing Start encrypting.
