WEBVTT 00:00.160 --> 00:02.070 Do you want to know how to set up, 00:02.070 --> 00:02.080 00:02.080 --> 00:04.230 configure, and use Bit Locker on Windows 00:04.230 --> 00:04.240 00:04.240 --> 00:06.550 11? Then you are at the right place as 00:06.550 --> 00:06.560 00:06.560 --> 00:14.709 here is how to do it. Let's get started. 00:14.709 --> 00:14.719 00:14.719 --> 00:16.950 This is the Windows Club. Bit Locker is 00:16.950 --> 00:16.960 00:16.960 --> 00:18.870 a security feature that adds an extra 00:18.870 --> 00:18.880 00:18.880 --> 00:20.550 layer of protection to your computer and 00:20.550 --> 00:20.560 00:20.560 --> 00:23.349 prevents unauthorized access. A lot of 00:23.349 --> 00:23.359 00:23.359 --> 00:25.349 beginners and even some hardcore Windows 00:25.349 --> 00:25.359 00:25.359 --> 00:27.990 users are unaware of the fact that you 00:27.990 --> 00:28.000 00:28.000 --> 00:30.550 can set up, configure and use Bit Locker 00:30.550 --> 00:30.560 00:30.560 --> 00:32.630 on their Windows computer. In this 00:32.630 --> 00:32.640 00:32.640 --> 00:35.030 video, we will show you how you can do 00:35.030 --> 00:35.040 00:35.040 --> 00:41.270 the same. Let's get started. 00:41.270 --> 00:41.280 00:41.280 --> 00:43.830 Method one, use Bit Locker on Windows 11 00:43.830 --> 00:43.840 00:43.840 --> 00:45.670 Home. To configure Bit Locker on your 00:45.670 --> 00:45.680 00:45.680 --> 00:47.430 system, follow the prescribed steps. 00:47.430 --> 00:47.440 00:47.440 --> 00:49.430 Open Windows settings by searching it 00:49.430 --> 00:49.440 00:49.440 --> 00:52.229 out of the Start menu or by Wind plus I. 00:52.229 --> 00:52.239 00:52.239 --> 00:54.229 Go to privacy and security from the top 00:54.229 --> 00:54.239 00:54.239 --> 00:55.910 right corner of the window. Click on 00:55.910 --> 00:55.920 00:55.920 --> 00:58.389 device encryption. Now use the toggle to 00:58.389 --> 00:58.399 00:58.399 --> 00:59.910 enable the feature. Click on the Bit 00:59.910 --> 00:59.920 00:59.920 --> 01:01.670 Locker drive encryption button from the 01:01.670 --> 01:01.680 01:01.680 --> 01:03.430 related section. Go to the operating 01:03.430 --> 01:03.440 01:03.440 --> 01:05.509 system drive and click on backup your 01:05.509 --> 01:05.519 01:05.519 --> 01:07.750 recovery key. Finally save the Bit 01:07.750 --> 01:07.760 01:07.760 --> 01:09.990 Locker recovery key somewhere on your 01:09.990 --> 01:10.000 01:10.000 --> 01:11.910 computer and make sure to note the path 01:11.910 --> 01:11.920 01:11.920 --> 01:14.070 address. If the Microsoft Store or 01:14.070 --> 01:14.080 01:14.080 --> 01:16.710 Redirect opens, close it and instead 01:16.710 --> 01:16.720 01:16.720 --> 01:19.109 open Control Panel. Press Wind then type 01:19.109 --> 01:19.119 01:19.119 --> 01:21.190 control panel then press enter. See the 01:21.190 --> 01:21.200 01:21.200 --> 01:23.270 view by to category. Then go to system 01:23.270 --> 01:23.280 01:23.280 --> 01:24.950 and security. Then Bit Locker drive 01:24.950 --> 01:24.960 01:24.960 --> 01:26.710 encryption. Now you will see a list of 01:26.710 --> 01:26.720 01:26.720 --> 01:28.550 all drives. The operating system drive 01:28.550 --> 01:28.560 01:28.560 --> 01:30.789 is usually C colon. Click turn on Bit 01:30.789 --> 01:30.799 01:30.799 --> 01:32.469 Locker or manage Bit Locker next to the 01:32.469 --> 01:32.479 01:32.479 --> 01:34.710 C drive. Once you select the OS drive, 01:34.710 --> 01:34.720 01:34.720 --> 01:36.149 you will be prompted to back up your 01:36.149 --> 01:36.159 01:36.159 --> 01:38.230 recovery key. Choose one of the options, 01:38.230 --> 01:38.240 01:38.240 --> 01:40.550 save to a file, print the recovery key 01:40.550 --> 01:40.560 01:40.560 --> 01:43.030 or save to your Microsoft account. Save 01:43.030 --> 01:43.040 01:43.040 --> 01:44.789 the recovery key in a secure location 01:44.789 --> 01:44.799 01:44.799 --> 01:46.870 and note the exact path. As mentioned 01:46.870 --> 01:46.880 01:46.880 --> 01:49.190 earlier, Windows 11 home has device 01:49.190 --> 01:49.200 01:49.200 --> 01:51.670 encryption which lacks some advanced 01:51.670 --> 01:51.680 01:51.680 --> 01:53.830 features of Bit Locker. Another thing to 01:53.830 --> 01:53.840 01:53.840 --> 01:55.590 note here, this feature is not available 01:55.590 --> 01:55.600 01:55.600 --> 01:57.510 on all the devices. If you are not able 01:57.510 --> 01:57.520 01:57.520 --> 01:59.270 to see device encryption, then this 01:59.270 --> 01:59.280 01:59.280 --> 02:01.350 could mean that your computer is not 02:01.350 --> 02:01.360 02:01.360 --> 02:03.510 compatible. After this, we have provided 02:03.510 --> 02:03.520 02:03.520 --> 02:05.190 a method to check whether your device 02:05.190 --> 02:05.200 02:05.200 --> 02:07.190 supports Bit Locker. Do check that out. 02:07.190 --> 02:07.200 02:07.200 --> 02:09.190 To disable Bit Locker on your Windows 11 02:09.190 --> 02:09.200 02:09.200 --> 02:11.029 home computer, follow the prescribed 02:11.029 --> 02:11.039 02:11.039 --> 02:13.030 steps. Launch settings, go to privacy 02:13.030 --> 02:13.040 02:13.040 --> 02:14.550 and security, then select device 02:14.550 --> 02:14.560 02:14.560 --> 02:16.229 encryption. Disable the toggle for 02:16.229 --> 02:16.239 02:16.239 --> 02:18.390 device encryption. This way, Bit Locker 02:18.390 --> 02:18.400 02:18.400 --> 02:20.150 will be disabled and the decryption 02:20.150 --> 02:20.160 02:20.160 --> 02:26.309 process will begin. 02:26.309 --> 02:26.319 02:26.319 --> 02:28.550 Method two, use Bit Locker on Windows 11 02:28.550 --> 02:28.560 02:28.560 --> 02:30.550 Pro. Launch settings, go to system, then 02:30.550 --> 02:30.560 02:30.560 --> 02:32.229 open storage. Navigate to the storage 02:32.229 --> 02:32.239 02:32.239 --> 02:33.830 management section and then click on the 02:33.830 --> 02:33.840 02:33.840 --> 02:35.750 advanced storage section. Go to disk and 02:35.750 --> 02:35.760 02:35.760 --> 02:37.350 volume. Go to the drive and then to 02:37.350 --> 02:37.360 02:37.360 --> 02:39.190 partition you want to encrypt and then 02:39.190 --> 02:39.200 02:39.200 --> 02:40.949 click on properties. Click on turn on 02:40.949 --> 02:40.959 02:40.959 --> 02:42.470 Bit Locker. Follow the on-creen 02:42.470 --> 02:42.480 02:42.480 --> 02:43.990 instructions to set up Bit Locker 02:43.990 --> 02:44.000 02:44.000 --> 02:45.750 depending on your preferences. After 02:45.750 --> 02:45.760 02:45.760 --> 02:47.509 restarting your system, Bit Locker will 02:47.509 --> 02:47.519 02:47.519 --> 02:49.350 be enabled. Hopefully, this will do the 02:49.350 --> 02:49.360 02:49.360 --> 02:51.190 job for you. In case you feel like there 02:51.190 --> 02:51.200 02:51.200 --> 02:53.030 is no need to encrypt your data and Bit 02:53.030 --> 02:53.040 02:53.040 --> 02:54.550 Locker is not needed, just follow the 02:54.550 --> 02:54.560 02:54.560 --> 02:56.390 on-creen instructions to disable Bit 02:56.390 --> 02:56.400 02:56.400 --> 02:58.470 Locker on your system. Open control 02:58.470 --> 02:58.480 02:58.480 --> 03:00.390 panel from the start menu. Go to system 03:00.390 --> 03:00.400 03:00.400 --> 03:02.229 and security. Then Bit Locker drive 03:02.229 --> 03:02.239 03:02.239 --> 03:04.070 encryption. From the operating system 03:04.070 --> 03:04.080 03:04.080 --> 03:06.309 drive, click on turn off Bit Locker. Bit 03:06.309 --> 03:06.319 03:06.319 --> 03:07.830 Locker will be disabled on your 03:07.830 --> 03:07.840 03:07.840 --> 03:09.750 computer. For more details, follow this 03:09.750 --> 03:09.760 03:09.760 --> 03:11.910 guide. So that's it.
