    I set up bitlocker and it said it needed to verify my computer could work with it first and I should restart. So I restarted, it prompted me for my password, and it continued.

    But nothing's popped up or anything... I don't see how it can have encrypted my entire drive already.

    Under the manager it says C: BitLocker Disabled. But when I restart I need the password...

    EDIT: I restarted - no password prompt this time. I'm going to set it up again...

    Whoops, forgot about this.

    I restarted and the password was gone. Set it up again and it's working now.

    Yep, very happy with the results. I notice no performance changes at all actually.

    Thank you anyways for the link.
