Encrypting the data on your laptop isn’t solely a matter to avoid government snooping or other prying eyes. It’s a good security practice for anyone that uses a Windows 10 PC. As several high-profile attacks have demonstrated, computer security is something that should be taken seriously by all.
Windows 10 offers BitLocker, a built-in security tool that encrypts the contents of your drive or any portable storage that you regularly use with your PC. It’s straightforward to implement, and is available on Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise.
