I've just bought a new laptop and I'd like to encrypt the hard drive in case it gets stolen or lost. It came with Windows 10 Home edition.
As far as I know Bitlocker is only for Windows 10 Pro editions so what are my choices for encrypting the hard drive? There must be some way to just simply encrypt the hard drive to protect against theft? I don't want anything too complex just something to stop the average user from getting control of my data.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I found a guide but it seems to be outdated compared to the latest version of Windows 10 that I am running. I heard you require a TPM or something? How do I find out if my laptop supports that?
Any help appreciated .
