    What software to encrypt a USB Flash Drive
    « on: May 18, 2017, 06:00:54 AM »
    Hi there,

    I have a few flash drives branded 'kingston' and 'sandisk'.

    My question, what software would you suggest to encrypt all files? Would you suggest paid or free version software?

    Regards

    How much money is it worth to you?

    Windows already has built-in encryption.

      It is always good to feel safe that your data is encrypted.

      Password wouldn't be an issue.

      What is it called that windows have built-in encryption?

        Flash drives and SD cards are a convenient tool for transferring data. However, with the convenience and portability, comes a security risk. That’s where encryption becomes valuable, and BitLocker in Windows 10 makes it easy to do. Plus, Windows 10 version 1151 comes with a new and improved encryption algorithm.
        Note: The BitLocker encryption tool is only available in Windows 10 Pro and not the Home version.
        Look in control panel to see if you have he BitLocker encryption tool.
