 Built-in OS encryption solutions generally leverage hardware security features such as a [secure cryptoprocessor](basics/hardware.md#tpmsecure-cryptoprocessor). Therefore, we recommend using the built-in encryption solutions for your operating system. For cross-platform encryption, we still recommend [cross-platform tools](#multi-platform) for additional flexibility and to avoid vendor lock-in.

-**BitLocker** is the full volume encryption solution bundled with Microsoft Windows that uses the Trusted Platform Module ([TPM](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/security/information-protection/tpm/how-windows-uses-the-tpm)) for hardware-based security.

+<summary>Enabling BitLocker on Windows Home</summary>
+
+To enable BitLocker on "Home" editions of Windows, you must have partitions formatted with a [GUID Partition Table](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table) and have a dedicated TPM (v1.2, 2.0+) module. You may need to [disable the non-Bitlocker "Device encryption" functionality](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/enabling-bitlocker-on-the-windows-11-home-edition/13303/5) (which is inferior because it sends your recovery key to Microsoft's servers) if it is enabled on your device already before following this guide.
+
+1. Open a command prompt and check your drive's partition table format with the following command. You should see "**GPT**" listed under "Partition Style":
+
+    ```powershell
+    powershell Get-Disk
+    ```
+
+2. Run this command (in an admin command prompt) to check your TPM version. You should see `2.0` or `1.2` listed next to `SpecVersion`:
+
+    ```powershell
+    powershell Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root/cimv2/security/microsofttpm" -Class WIN32_tpm
+    ```
+
+3. Access [Advanced Startup Options](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode-b90e7808-80b5-a291-d4b8-1a1af602b617). You need to reboot while pressing the F8 key before Windows starts and go into the *command prompt* in **Troubleshoot** → **Advanced Options** → **Command Prompt**.
+4. Login with your admin account and type this in the command prompt to start encryption:
+
+    ```powershell
+    manage-bde -on c: -used
+    ```
+
+5. Close the command prompt and continue booting to regular Windows.
+6. Open an admin command prompt and run the following commands:
+
+    ```powershell
+    manage-bde c: -protectors -add -rp -tpm
+    manage-bde -protectors -enable c:
+    manage-bde -protectors -get c: > %UserProfile%\Desktop\BitLocker-Recovery-Key.txt
+    ```

+
+Windows 11 recently introduced a feature called **Recall**, which records all your activity and creates a searchable archive of that activity history. This is a massive privacy vulnerability, because those archives can potentially store highly sensitive information (essentially anything displayed on your screen), and can be trivially accessed by local administrators or malicious actors with user-level access to your device.
