    Solved BitLocker in Windows Home

    thank you for the update and your time...i have tried to use Dell Chat for almost a week but it seems to be down. I have sent them an email requesting links to any of their docs for swapping a hdd to ssd. I have not received a reply yet, but it's still early. I guess I could call them but my...

    Solved BitLocker in Windows Home

    Phillpower2...you win...I'm getting confused reading various docs about how to do this hdd/ssd swap. The 'old' BIOS that I'm familiar with is much simpler. Here is my pc info stuff...Dell Inspiron 3671. Service Tag: 85DCR33. Express Service Code: 19129741599. The delivered drive is a 1T WD...

    Solved BitLocker in Windows Home

    Eureka...you said TPM was not the issue. I started googling again...I came across a doc from Microsoft support about Win10 encryption...not BitLocker but encryption... I followed the instructions. The doc always said that 'Home' did not support BitLocker...but apparently there is some kind of...

    Solved BitLocker in Windows Home

    I've been googling more about Acronis True Image cloning problems on Win 10/BitLocker/Trusted Platform Module. The more I read and thus become more confused, the more I feel I should be using different cloning software. Would that be the solution to my dilemma? If so, please recommend one...

    Solved BitLocker in Windows Home

    Everything was on C:drive. Since I have Win 10 Home and not Pro I did not think that BitLocker would be in Win 10. When I open File Explorer and right click on any folders and my old pix and docs I do not see any 'Manage BitLocker' choices. I did copy the old pix and docs files over to my new...
