BitLocker for Windows 11/10 Home

Due to the new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), we have to encrypt our drives. You can turn on device encryption on Windows 11/10. Nevertheless, If device encryption isn't available on your computer, you must enable BitLocker drive encryption instead.

BitLocker is a truly secure encryption feature built into Windows OS. However, it is missing in the Windows 10 Home edition, Windows 8 Home edition, Windows 7 Home edition, and Windows 7 Professional edition's control panel, so how to encrypt drive with BitLocker in Windows 11/10/8/7 Home?

With the help of iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows, you can easily create an encrypted container which is compatible with BitLocker Drive Encryption so that the hard drive, external hard drive, USB drive, flash drive, SD card, etc. is protected by BitLocker in Windows 11/10/8/7 Home editions and Windows 7 Professional edition.

Data protection even if power failure

iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows has a built-in unique data protection function, the encryption process can be resumed even if power failure during encryption process, so please don't worry about data loss when using iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows to encrypt the drive.

Fastly encrypt drive in Windows 7

Unlike BitLocker Drive Encryption feature built-in Windows 7, iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows only encrypts the used space on the specific drive so that the encryption process will be quicker than the BitLocker Drive Encryption feature built-in Windows 7.

Keep data security

iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows uses the encryption log to record the encryption process so that the encryption process can be rolled back even if the encryption process interrupted/failed, and then you can continue.

Lock BitLocker encrypted drive without restarting Windows

Unlike Windows OS, iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows can lock BitLocker encrypted drives without restarting your Windows computer.

Notice: iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows cannot encrypt the boot partition (C: drive). If you just want to protect your personal files on C: drive, for data security, please create a new partiton to store these files, read this article for the detailed instructions.

Seems like a great company. I bought the program. They deliver the right product, does what its expected to do and bug free. They even describe what possibility you have if you don't use their software.

McGee, 2019-06-20

Worked out like a dream! Awesome!.

Seaquark, 2020-05-26

Initial reaction is mixed at best. While the app appears to be working on encrypting my data on a 250GB external drive, there is no way to determine how much has been encrypted and how much is left to encrypt. The interface is marginal at best. If PC resolution does not fit the app desires, the readout is cropped, so you need to guess what is being shown. While the app is simple to use, it is not a user friendly interface. I have no idea on how long I must keep encrypting my external drive and what happens if I stop the process.

A friend uses it and he is fully satisfied.I would like to give it a try with trial version.
