Hi,

Does anyone know what the deal is with Bitlocker and Win 7 Pro?

Lots of conflicting information out there at with the same sites saying it's not possible and it is.

Some say with pro you can only encrypt the C: and not external, others say it's not possible at all.

C: encryption is all that is needed.

If Bitlocker isn't an option, any other options?
 
Need enterprise or ultimate for bitlocker with Windows 7.

Not sure on alternatives, Truecrypt is no more, maybe veracrypt?
 
Well, the problem we have is we are buying in Dell laptops that have a win 10 pro CD in the box as a restore disk and win 7 pro installed on the actually laptops.

7 laptops had already gone out and we wanted a low impact option to get them encrypted. Getting them sent back in to be upgraded and then shipped out again would cost too much money in lost sales.

We've bought 7 licences for DESlock+ PRO and I've used it to encrypt 3 laptops so far, logging in late in the day and leave it encrypting overnight.

Works a charm.

We couldn't use opensource such as Veracrypt due to restrictions from the licensing company.

I'm going to grab a spare laptop tomorrow and see if I can update to win 10 from 7 with the CD's in the boxes, then I can set bitlocker up on them now and not have to worry )
