    External Hard Drive - Password protection
    « on: July 03, 2017, 05:31:59 AM »
    I have a Seagate Expansion external hard drive unit I need to put a password on, but there are some issues with this.....

    *the hard drive is being sent to someone else who is not computer savvy (I'm not either, but more than they are)
    *I have Win8.1, they have Win Vista....whatever is used has to work on both.
    *Whatever method is used has to be super simple and very easy to use, especially for the other person.
    *I don't care if it's putting a password on a folder or the whole drive, as long as it's simple and easy to do.
    *It's got to be FREE, as this is the only instance I have ever needed to put a password on anything, so I don't want to spend money on a program I will only use once.

    Is there a way to do this?  So far, all of the information I've gotten is for specific Windows systems only, or way to complicated to use. ???


    Thanks
