This will need to be used every time you access your PC or drive, even before the operating system starts up.
You can choose to enter this manually, or via a USB drive. The options for Windows 10 are save the file to your Microsoft account, save to a flash drive, save to a local or cloud file, or print the recovery key manually.
Choose as many as you want for your own peace of mind. However, note that if you choose the whole drive the encryption process will take much longer.
Compatible is best for removable drives that will then be used with older versions of the Windows OS. Great question! It can certainly vary depending on how much data there is to encrypt, and also on how intensive the work that you complete is, while the encryption process is taking place. On new computers, it may take as little as 20 minutes, while it can take 2 or 3 hours to complete at the other end of the scale.
Standalone, it's also the least secure method of encryption because if someone walks off with the entire computer, they can still decrypt the drive on the computer with the TPM built into it. Bitlocker is also a massive reconfiguration. Your hard drive configuration needs to have the first partition of at least 1. If you want to implement it on a computer which doesn't currently have the 1.
How do you use boot time decryption on a tablet that has no keyboard other than plugging in a USB keyboard, which kind of defeats the purpose. I don't know if that option's been entirely ruled out yet, though. I've never used Bitlocker or any other full system encryption so I hope my questions aren't to noobish. But how do you unlock the TPM? This partition then requires some form of authentication that will unlock the TPM. The TPM then provides the encryption keys for the encrypted partitions.
Windows continues to boot. AEisen also mentioned something about a PIN. If so, that explains why that partition needs to be so large, it it holding a mini OS that can provide interaction to the end user including a GUI.
Basically how any full disk encrypton works is that the encryption software needs to be on an unencrypted boot partition with some sort of boot loader. One the boot loader starts it will open the encryption software and ask you to authenticate.
Then it will load the rest of the operating system. So now with a tablet the boot loader would need some way to accept a password from the touch screen which is I think going to be the hard part. You can use one, two, or all three methods of authentication. Dashrender, what happens with TrueCrypt is you have options.
You can create a small encrypted "file" that acts like a partition or you can encrypt the entire hard drive.
