I have a gaming laptop that will be going back to XOTICPC for repair. I've purchased many from them and this repair is my fault. They will be replacing the keyboard, trackpad left button (or entire assembly), and replacing the thermal compound for the CPU & GPU (it's been a few years).

Hi, first time posting! I've been scouring the internet trying to figure this out but so far no luck, hoping someone can help. I'm testing BitLocker currently at my work and I've been tasked with with setting it so that the laptops are encrypted, and when someone plugs a flash drive in it will...
I have three drives in my laptop. I turned bitlocker on to the third, 1TB, drive. My drive had more or less 500GB free space when i started. After the encryption (which really took a while), the free space was only around 30GB. So i turned off Bitlocker (also took a while) but the size remained...

My laptop had Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7. It was hit by a virus named Ransom. By the time I tried defending the Ransom virus, it had encrypted the C: and D: drives. I had reformat the entire hard disk and install Windows 7 as the OS.
The external hard disk is bitlocker enabled. Earlier...

I have a Aus TPM module and W10 pro. I enabled bitlocker and am able to select unlock with a USB. Then I get the dialog to save to the USB which also works. But when I look on the USB stick I see no hidden or unhidden files??
Any help appreciated.
Hi everyone
I am new to encryption and was wondering if having Bitlocker encrypting my WindowsOs drive would effect program performance. The programs I use daily are Sketchbook and Maya. These are also on the same drive as Windows. Their save locations are on a different drive.
Thank you for...
It's just a .txt file with a long number to use in case I forgot my password I guess. It seems kind of pointless to encrypt a drive if a thief gets access to that .txt file they will be able to unlock it.
Do you just delete this file?
Hello,
I have two PCs that I wish to encrypt with BitLocker (system drive encryption). Windows 10 64bit 1607 on both PCs, identical 256 GB SSDs with similar free space.
On first PC, encryption went OK. It offered me to save a password (or whatever that is). There is no option for BitLocker...
I'm frustrated to learn that other users can access my external drive when they're logged into my pc. That external drive backs up all of the stuff that is kept private in my own user account. Does anyone know if I can use Bitlocker to protect my external drive so only my user account can access...
