Simple instructions to help protect your data.
The Pro version of Ten has a built-in disk encryption tool called BitLocker. It's easy to use.
Wait a while, and the disk will be encrypted.
There is no BitLocker in your home Windows. Instead, you can use the third-party open-source solution VeraCrypt.
Since the disk will be formatted, you should first encrypt it and then copy files there.
MacOS has a tool called FireVault that can be used to encrypt both local Mac drives and external drives.
That's it. Now to access the encrypted files, you will need to enter a password.
Be careful and never power off your computer or external storage device while encryption is in progress. Otherwise, you risk damaging your data. And don't forget about backups.
