I have enabled bitlocker on my windows 10 laptop. But I found that there is no way for me to encrypt multiple disk at the same time (I have Disk C & D).

Is there anyway for me to have BitLocker encryption on both partition at the same time?

    Hello,

    You should be able to encrypt multiple disks with Bitlocker.

    Here are the commandline options for Bitlocker, including options for data drives as well as the system drive.

    Hi

    If you want to encrypt multiple data disks at the same time, you can use the command-line tool manage-bde.exe to perform encryption operations in batches. You can enter the following command in a command prompt with administrator privileges:

    manage-bde.exe -protectors -add C: -password

    manage-bde.exe -protectors -add D: -password

    manage-bde.exe -on C:

    manage-bde.exe -on D:

    Hope the information is helpful.

    Best Regards,
