Nowadays, Data is the most important things to us. You need to keep your data safely wherein your data is not about to lost. If you want to secure your data with password, you can. Today I will show you readers how we can secure the data with password. I will suggest you to use BitLocker Drive Encryption.
BitLocker isn't any third party application. BitLocker is volume encryption features included with Microsoft Windows versions starting with Windows Vista up to highest versions. No need to install this, it's already installed as part of operating system installation. We can use BitLocker to secure both internal and external hard drive.

NOTE: BitLocker is not available on Windows 10 Home Edition.


I will show you for Windows 10. Basically for all windows versions are same procedure. We will follow stepwise below

Step 1: Go to Start (Windows button) and search for BitLocker. Then 'Manage BitLocker' will appear on the screen. Tap on 'Manage BitLocker'.


Step 2: You decide first which drive you want to protect and click on 'Turn on BitLocker'


Step 3: Select how you want unlock the drive, either by password or smart card. If you choose password enter the password and click 'Next' button. If you choose smart card insert first your smart card read this article.


Step 4: Choose where you want to save you recovery key if you forget the password this recovery key will help you. I choose 'Save to a file' and save that file then click on 'Next'.



Step 5: Further choose options will shown below. Follow these options and you will get to use BitLocker.






Let It be finished. Now restart your machine. Enjoy...
