HOW TO SECURE YOUR LOCAL DISK WITH A PASSWORD(WINDOWS)

The reason why you need to secure your disk is to avoid unauthorized access to data.
You may create a log in a password but that will not stop people like me from getting to your files.
So I want to show you how to secure your drive using Windows BitLocker encryption.


                 I assume that you partitioned your system already i.e you have more than one Local Drive.
 Then Right-click on the drive you wish to lock and click on "Turn on BitLocker"

STEP 1


Then check the box before "Use a password to unlock the drive"
Then type in your required password.
Then click next. 
Note: your password must contain an uppercase letter and numbers.

STEP 2
Click on save the recovery key to a file. That's in case you forget your password.
Click next.

STEP 3
Then click on start encrypting.

STEP 4
Note that this might take time to complete. It depends on the number of files stored in the drive you want to encrypt.

STEP 5
