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). The...

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...

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?
