Hi there,
There are two types of BitLocker encryption you can use in Windows 11:-
BitLocker Drive Encryption: This encryption method is used to encrypt fixed hard drives (internal hard disk) including operating system drives.
BitLocker To Go: This encryption method lets encrypt external drives, such as USB flash drives and external hard drives.
Make sure you have checked this
- To use BitLocker, you will need Windows 11 Pro, Education, or Enterprise edition.
- Another requirement is to have a Trusted Platform Module chip (TPM) with support for Modern Standby on your computer. For Windows 11, TPM version 2.0 must be enabled in UEFI/BIOS Boot mode.
3.The computer should have motherboard firmware in UEFI mode. - You will need at least two partitions to run BitLocker: system partition and operating system partition
