Windows 11: Enable BitLocker drive encryption

[@JimK-uh2bv]

With windows 11 home edition, you can't encrypt any other drives besides the OS (C:) drive. Windows charges for the upgrade to Pro. It's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY....damn rip-offs !!!!!

[@ThejaKarnati]

So, there's no way to encrypt them now? I deencrypted a partition previously, and now in the drive encryption in control panel, i couldn't find this partition when i wanted to encrypt it again, but other untouched partitions are still shown there

[@Summitv69]

Bitlocker is available on windows 11pro...not in home version.

[@tvbox6955]

How can I fix this? failed to open bitlocker control panel tool error code 0x80004005

[@fun_football]

You are unable to open the bitlocker in the home edition of windows 11. Please check your computer model.

Does having bitlocker enabled on C drive effect on the computer's performance ?

[@tahsinfaiyazsayor4098]

Yes. Massively on low end pc. And a bit on high end pc.

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

Tried to turn on BL for my E-Drive external drive, but when clicking "turn on Bitlocker" it just takes me to C-drive? it stops showing the E-Drive in the list 🙃

[@stephenpijnnaken963]

Whenever I click "Turn on BitLocker" on my removable USB Drive it goes to the Control Panel>Device Encryption, but I only see the Operating System Drive and the option to backup my recovery key and that's it. I also noticed his says BitLocker Device Encryption where mine only says Device Encryption. Any suggestions? *Edit* I just now found out that BitLocker is not supported by Windows 11 Home, I only have the light version Device Encryption. Is there another way to encrypt my USB Drive?

[@ogunkovan]

you didnt show how to use this. where is what happens if you constantly use the drive copy paste things in windows? you just cut whole the process. 5/10

[@Pureinfotech]

What do you mean by copying and pasting things constantly?

[@staycylougene4678]

Hello i need help, I tried to encrypt my USB using these steps but after i click the "Turn-on BitLocker" i cannot see the removable data drives i can only see the operating system and nothing more ... Please acknowledge my concern :((

[@Niru4luv]

Same here! :(

[@Niru4luv]

Hi there, Just now i learned that in order to encrypt removable drives we need to have Windows Premium verson. On Windows light we can encrypt only PC fixed drives...that's the reason. You can "Wise folder hider" as an alternative for that...:)

[@staycylougene4678]

@@Niru4luv hello thank you for the informations... Can we put password on wise folder hider?

[@Niru4luv]

@@staycylougene4678 Yes, you can hide and put password as well! Just now i tried it out with my USB and it is working like charm. Here on youtube there are bunch of tutorials to get familiar with, go check it out! :)

Hi! I have 'windows 11 home single language' it does not support for bitloker option. Any other way to encrypt the drive please?

[@acegeezer1]

Use an external one.. VeraCrypt is a good one

[@rfrancoi]

Man, that was a GREAT video. Thank you Sir.

[@overcastro4087]

Excelente video 👍 Una pregunta? En mí caso, al tener bitloker activado en cifrado mi ssd externo y usb, puede fallar al conectar a otra lapto que tenga tpm, windows 11pro. Porque mi lapto no tiene tpm, pero tengo Bitlocker.

[@rileyspears4083]

any idea why in the control panel > device encryption window its only showing the OS windows C drive ? and not the removable or virtual disks? I am trying to turn on bitlocker for removable drives.

[@winphet]

Hello, when I enable Bitlocker on my drive with my microsft account. If I creae a Local account can I acces to this drive ? Thanks

[@thomas-wiki]

there should be an option to password protect folders

[@AdamsTaiwan]

You can choose to encrypt just a folder and only the logged in user can access it.

[@thomas-wiki]

@@AdamsTaiwan how

[@AdamsTaiwan]

@@thomas-wiki Right click on a folder, select properties, click Advance button on the General tab, check "Encrypt contents to secure data". Also, you should turn on view options for viewing the Encrypted folders as green.

[@galactus4mac]

@@AdamsTaiwan thank you!

[@OmarOs]

Thank you for your effort! I just have 1 important question, if I encrypted using "New encryption mode", and used that drive later on an older Windows version on another machine, and since it's not supported on older versions, will the drive open normally without BitLocker at all? or is it actually won't be able to unlock at all?

[@sk000ks]

Why the hell you cannot use a complex password to encrypt the operating system boot partition? In window 10 it was possibile. Why cannot do that in windows 11?

[@billx4266]

Ok but this is software encryption, what about hardware based SSD encryption?

[@njjt3820]

Hello, should I use New Encryption method or Compatible Encryption? Tq.

Why does it say that for your security some settings are managed by your system administrator. When you enable it as the admin?

[@sangitakumari5482]

Pov: you don't have windows 11 pro (Just like me)

[@gamingdragon1356]

Get folder lock software. It works great as well

[@CVITY_]

i absolutely hate this new update, it won’t let me use my computer and it won’t let me turn it off it’s so annoying, i didn’t even have a code for it

[@xavierparlat4178]

it doesn't work your video for windows 11 Home bro

[@Pureinfotech]

Exactly, as the video says, Home doesn't have this feature. If the computer has TPM, you can use the light version of BitLocker, which is called Device encryption. The video mentions all this. Thanks,

that's how I have set up my extra fixed drives. They automatically unlock/decrypt with the system drive.
