Yes, but that is not quite right is it? While you are all about drive encryption, you also explain it fully with an up-to-date video and a focus on just sharing the information you need to get it done (I have learnt nothing about you, just about the tech). This is a really good video that I was impressed with. Thank you
I didn't even know of this program embedded inside WINDOWS. A very useful and secure tool for your files. Thank you Britec for this. You are always finding the right tools for we consumers to protect our data. Much obliged, sir.
Hi Britec, I'm commenting on my YT channel now and I have a personal account that has been following you for years now since you started. All I can say is thanks man, my Windows system has been safe because of your professional tips and workarounds. Thank you!
Hey Brian. What is the difference between doing this - i.e encrypting files using bitlocker and using the password system for logging into your PC? Both uses password right? What is the difference then?
Late response but it really depends. If you live in an area with high theft rates (or high crime rates in general), it'd be advisable to enable it on all devices but ESPECIALLY on laptops and other portable devices. It's a good idea to encrypt even your PC if you live in a high-risk environment. That said, even if you don't, it's not a bad idea unless your PC is extremely old/weak. If your PC is decent, running encryption even in a low-risk environment is just an added layer of security for that extra peace of mind, particularly if you store any sort of sensitive data (be it documents, photos, videos or even unencrypted passwords). In general, it's a good idea to enable it but it's only truly necessary on a desktop PC if you're in an environment with a higher chance of theft. Laptops, on the other hand, should always be encrypted if you have that option.
When bootup its shows "BItlocker" heading. Any chance to change this title? I don't want to show this heading. when drive become bad or file corruption its possible to unlock drive? and can take files backup?
I like how this is built into windows. I have a question though: Does this encrypt on the fly going forward and if so,does it affect performance (like gaming)?
Just wondering if anyone could help a relatively clueless guy like me out. I'm finally swapping in a SSD in place for my old crappy HDD but I'm not sure what to do on the last final steps. So I know that I have to clone my HDD onto another external drive so I can take out my old HDD and replace it with the SSD by creating an image of it (which I'm 99% sure I can do on my own.). Then, once I swap the HDD out with the new SSD drive, I have a few questions: 1. Will my P.C be able to boot off of the Windows on the external hard drive initially? 2. How do I swap over all my data from the external drive to the SSD, most importantly the OS? 3. And if it all goes tits up, will I be ale to plug in my old HDD without having any of the data deleted or lost as long as the HDD isn't damaged.
Im looking for a way to encrypt my 4 HDDs in my Windows 10 Pro Nas. I need all files to be encrypted when the PC is powered off. How long does encrypt/decrypt take for around 30 TB in Data (redundant so 60TB). Great Video btw. Helped out a lot.
Is applying Bitlocker To Go on an external USB portable hard drive basically the same process? Do I need to use Bitlocker first on the boot drive C? Can the external drive be plugged into a Windows 7 PC after applying Bitlocker To Go on the external drive?
@@Britec09 i am talking in prospective of enterprise environment.... Where we use to sync bitlocker keys on active directory. So have seen such cases where keys didn't backup on AD. Hence user lost all his/her data. Bez keys are not backup due to some unknown issue. I hope there should be some work around in such cases. I am also trying to find it out. And would urge to seek help from your end and expertises.... Stay blessed
hey dude! lov your vids, i was wondering if you could a video about updating to windows 10 20h2, is it safe? i have 1909 and are there any major bugs that should we keep in mind? thank you ^^
I only have one hard drive and it's only used for torrents and newsnet. It's a server grade HGST one because all the others these days are build to be cheap (and therefore are utterly unreliable after a few years). So no important data. Encryption would make a HDD even slower.
LOL Now I have the most secure pc, I have encrypted my hard drive using this video and when someone who installs a program in my pc, it asks password(in user account control) Hahaha😁 Thanks mate. 🤗 Love your videos.
If you think for even a microsecond that you have the most secure PC, you are sorely mistaken! All security measures are defeatable, no matter how strong they are.
I have 2 PCs and 1 Laptop and they're networked. All my files are stored on PC 1 and it's really just used as a Server. If I add the Bitlocker Password to all 3 computers, will I have to log-in to PC 1 everyday (ie. key in the Password) to allow PC 2 and Laptop access to the files over the Network? At present (without Password), I just turn on PC 1 and within a minute I can access files via PC 2/Laptop.
I just purchased a Lenovo Thinkbook Laptop. Acronis woud not see my "C" SSD NVMe M.2. Found out the drive has hardware encryption, but does not ask for password. Can you explain hardware encryption.
Hi, i try this on windows 11 and there is no password to create is that mean when i type account pass it decrypt drive c. I dont know is this secure if someone try to bypass my password with koonboot?
Thank you...the TPM i inserted worked Great "But" i couldn't recovery with Acronis.tib 2019 at the time and the system didn't offer up a password......I know i should go to the Discord Server with this!!!!
I have tried the Indexing Search a couple of times and it slows down my computer way too much. Restarts, Fresh starts in particular I believe as it really hogs the HD at 100% for way too long. And of course - SMASH👍
But ive heard it can just as easily be cracked .....the very same RUclips has 100s of videos showing how to hack bitlocker without password or security key.

Great Video Brian. This is definitely recommended for any one who is using a laptop or portable computer - gives you that extra sense of security.
Very true!
Thanks. Good topic. In the end, I'm not a big fan of Windows but if you're going to use Windows, bitlocker is good enough for most people.
Yes it does a good job at encrypting.
🏆🏆🏆👍🙏
For an external solid state drive backup, what can be done for encryption
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Greatly explained.

One can remove the hard drive from the computer and read the data, if it isnt encrypted.
Is it advisable to encrypt data even if it's for home/play/some work use?

Does this total drive encryption slow things down much? I have never used it so don't know first hand. i5 - four core - 3270
Does encryption have any affect on gaming and things like that?
Thanks for All Your Videos.
Glad you like them!

Work uses bitlocker and never thought about doing it myself. Looks simple enough to set up
bitlocker is for windows pro and above
Finally, someone without an Indian accent
very good one explain !
Very Informative..... Plz can u also make video on if bitlocker key is lost... Then how we can recovery it to de-encrypt the drives?
no key, no data

Video idea : is there a way to (clone/migrate OS) using windows ? or CMD line ? ..not using a 3rd party software
hey, can i swap an HDD with fully activated windows 10 genuine from my old tower pc to a newer tower pc?
Yes, make sure your win10 key is linked to you ms account
Once logged on I assume the drive is decrypted so can you uses a backup app to backup the data which I assume is unecrypted?
what if they put the drive into a usb on another pc and not boot into it but explore it as a D: drive will it be locked still?

Nice one
Thanks for watching
You encrypt your drive so when law enforcement (NSA) does a search and seizure under the 4th amendment
Thanks for sharing.
What about widows 10 home users
hi Brian would this still work for a dual-boot linux/windows pc?
@@richardcranium4830 ok thanks
So do you have to put in the password every time you boot your computer?
To access the drive
Thank you...the TPM i inserted worked Great "But" i couldn't recovery with Acronis.tib 2019 at the time and the system didn't offer up a password......I know i should go to the Discord Server with this!!!!
drive will be encrypted
Uhmm, any idea how to do this on W10 Home?
VeraCrypt
Don't use BitLocker, use VeraCrypt
VeraCrypt is very good and can be used for home users

I guess one has to wait for the decryption to complete before shutting down the computer?
I would
@@Britec09 So you can shutdown the computer, while decryption is going on, and it resume when it turn back on?
But ive heard it can just as easily be cracked .....the very same RUclips has 100s of videos showing how to hack bitlocker without password or security key.
Posted on Facebook, Bye for now
Thanks
be careful with Dell pcs they do it automatically without telling you last month I got lucky and unlocked it in windows home edition
