How can I encrypt my drive with BitLocker in Windows 10?

I have a Windows PC running Windows 10 Home. I can't find the option to enable BitLocker on it. Is it not supported? If so, how can I encrypt my drive with BitLocker?

BitLocker drive encryption is not available to Home editions of Windows. If you want to protect your data with BitLocker encryption on Windows 10 Home edition, you'll need a third-party tool like M3 BitLocker Loader for Windows.

M3 BitLocker Loader for Windows is a reliable encryption tool that can enable BitLocker on Windows 10 Home edition, Windows 11 Home edition, Windows 8 Home edition, and Windows 7 Home & Professional editions. It's compatible with hard drives (HDDs & SSDs), USB flash drives, memory cards, and other storage devices.

This BitLocker for Windows Home tool only encrypts the used space of a selected drive and allows you to resume an interrupted encryption process. Give it a try!
