How to Enable BitLocker Encryption on USB Pen Drive
To set up BitLocker encryption on a USB pen drive, follow these steps. First, insert the USB drive into your computer. Open "File Explorer," right-click on the USB drive, and select "Turn on BitLocker."
BitLocker will initialize and prompt you to choose how you want to unlock the drive: with a password or a smart card. Choose the password option and create a strong password that you will remember.
Next, you'll need to save a recovery key in case you forget your password; you can save it to your Microsoft account, a file, or print it out.
Once the recovery key is saved, choose the encryption mode (either compatible mode or new encryption mode), and then start the encryption process. This might take some time, depending on the size of your USB drive. Once completed, your USB drive will be protected, and you will need to enter the password whenever you access the drive on any computer.
