Tech Tuesday for April 6, 2021

This Weeks Free Software Pick

If your laptop is lost or stolen, it’s very easy for someone to get your data, even if your login is password protected. How? Simply pull the hard drive out, plug it into another computer and voila, access to your data.

The answer? Data encryption. Encryption encodes your data so that it is unreadable without a decryption key. Fortunately, Windows 10 (not the Home edition though) includes built-in data encryption. Learn more about Bitlocker here.
