Data Encryption

HDD Encryption is built into the Windows OS with windows 11 Pro and Higher

What BitLocker Does

Encrypts your whole disk (OS + files) so data is unreadable without a key [support.mi…rosoft.com]
Prevents access if someone:
- steals your laptop
- removes the hard drive and connects it elsewhere [support.mi…rosoft.com]
Uses strong encryption (AES 128‑bit or 256‑bit) [bing.com]

👉 Without the key, your data appears like random “scrambled” information.

⚙️ How BitLocker Works

If everything looks normal → it unlocks automatically, If something changes → it asks for a recovery key

A chip that securely stores encryption keys

A 48‑digit backup code to unlock your drive if needed
