Overview
BitLocker can be used on fixed hard drives (i.e. internal to your computer) as well as on portable hard drives (i.e. USB). If you want to hold a secure, offline copy of files that you want to be preserved, BitLocker To Go with a portable hard drive with data to be stored and a hardware token as the key can be used together to do so.
Prerequisites
- A portable hard drive formatted with an NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT file system.
- Any desktop edition of Windows 10 except Home. BitLocker encryption is not included as a feature of Windows 10 Home, though encrypted drives can still be accessed via Windows 10 Home.
- A YubiKey security token. Other security tokens may work, but this procedure will focus on using a YubiKey.
Procedure
- Download and install the YubiKey personalization tool (graphical version).
- Insert your YubiKey into any USB slot and launch the personalization tool.
