Windows
To encrypt your entire system you have a choice between two methods:
- use Bitlocker from microsoft which is integrated in windows pro/enterprise (not in home edition, though we have a campus upgrade license to enterprise)
- use VeraCrypt open source software
It is adviced to use Bitlocker, unless you have a problem with the possibility that Microsoft has made a backdoor in bitlocker you should use VeraCrypt instead.
comparison Bitlocker and Veracrypt
Advantages Bitlocker over Veracrypt
- automatic unlocking at startup with TPM (no password need) => user only needs to login as it is a none-encrypted laptop
- windows recovery/repair supports bitlocker => for veraCrypt you must make special repair disk which is unique for the laptop!
Advantages Veracrypt over Bitlocker
- open source -> more likely that there is no backdoor
- more possibilities eg. stronger encryption! only drive encryption, image encryption etc.
