Using latest Windows 10 Pro and installing a TPM board, I am going to activate Bitlocker. Five questions
1) Do I have to enter a password on every boot-up? I read about a 'key'. Is this key just the password?
2) The drives and files will be encrypted. If I copy an mp3 onto the USB thumb drive I use in my car's media system, will the mp3 be encrypted, and hence will not play in the car?
3) Does Bitlocker enhance on-line security? Will it help to stop any hacking and hence removal/.access of sensitive files?
4) Can files be copied to another computer that has Bitlocker activated and the files work OK?
5) Can Bitlocker be switched-off so none of the drives and files are encrypted anymore?
Many thanks.
