Do you want to know how to set up,
configure, and use Bit Locker on Windows
11? Then you are at the right place as
here is how to do it. Let's get started.
This is the Windows Club. Bit Locker is
a security feature that adds an extra
layer of protection to your computer and
prevents unauthorized access. A lot of
beginners and even some hardcore Windows
users are unaware of the fact that you
can set up, configure and use Bit Locker
on their Windows computer. In this
video, we will show you how you can do
the same. Let's get started.
Method one, use Bit Locker on Windows 11
Home. To configure Bit Locker on your
system, follow the prescribed steps.
Open Windows settings by searching it
out of the Start menu or by Wind plus I.
Go to privacy and security from the top
right corner of the window. Click on
device encryption. Now use the toggle to
enable the feature. Click on the Bit
Locker drive encryption button from the
related section. Go to the operating
system drive and click on backup your
recovery key. Finally save the Bit
Locker recovery key somewhere on your
computer and make sure to note the path
address. If the Microsoft Store or
Redirect opens, close it and instead
open Control Panel. Press Wind then type
control panel then press enter. See the
view by to category. Then go to system
and security. Then Bit Locker drive
encryption. Now you will see a list of
all drives. The operating system drive
is usually C colon. Click turn on Bit
Locker or manage Bit Locker next to the
C drive. Once you select the OS drive,
you will be prompted to back up your
recovery key. Choose one of the options,
save to a file, print the recovery key
or save to your Microsoft account. Save
the recovery key in a secure location
and note the exact path. As mentioned
earlier, Windows 11 home has device
encryption which lacks some advanced
features of Bit Locker. Another thing to
note here, this feature is not available
on all the devices. If you are not able
to see device encryption, then this
could mean that your computer is not
compatible. After this, we have provided
a method to check whether your device
supports Bit Locker. Do check that out.
To disable Bit Locker on your Windows 11
home computer, follow the prescribed
steps. Launch settings, go to privacy
and security, then select device
encryption. Disable the toggle for
device encryption. This way, Bit Locker
will be disabled and the decryption
process will begin.
Method two, use Bit Locker on Windows 11
Pro. Launch settings, go to system, then
open storage. Navigate to the storage
management section and then click on the
advanced storage section. Go to disk and
volume. Go to the drive and then to
partition you want to encrypt and then
click on properties. Click on turn on
Bit Locker. Follow the on-creen
instructions to set up Bit Locker
depending on your preferences. After
restarting your system, Bit Locker will
be enabled. Hopefully, this will do the
job for you. In case you feel like there
is no need to encrypt your data and Bit
Locker is not needed, just follow the
on-creen instructions to disable Bit
Locker on your system. Open control
panel from the start menu. Go to system
and security. Then Bit Locker drive
encryption. From the operating system
drive, click on turn off Bit Locker. Bit
Locker will be disabled on your
computer. For more details, follow this
guide. So that's it. Subscribe to the
