Using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption To help protect your computer against unauthorized access, be sure to use drive encryption software, such as Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption. Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption is an integral security feature of the Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 operating systems. It is supported in the Ultimate and Enterprise editions of the Windows 7, Professional and Enterprise editions of the Windows 8.1 operating system. It can help you protect the operating system and data stored on your computer, even if your computer is lost or stolen. BitLocker works by encrypting all user and system files, including the swap and hibernation files.
