Protecting Your Computer
For increased security, the Windows operating system enables you to encrypt the hard drive
using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker).
BitLocker can encrypt your entire hard drive, including all user, system, swap, and hibernation
les. It can also protect against unauthorized changes to your system, such as rmware-level
malware.
BitLocker uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to provide advanced security protection for
