Microsoft released Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere Professional, Enterprise, and Technician for free. It is a native tool that enables complete disk encryption in certain Windows editions. Sadly, Windows 10/8.1/8/7 Home, Windows 8.1/8 Core, and Windows 7 Professional do not support this feature.
An Overview of BitLocker Anywhere by Hasleo
The first BitLocker solution for Windows Home and Windows 7 Professional is Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere For Windows. With it, you can take advantage of nearly all of BitLocker’s functionality in these Windows editions.
BitLocker Encrypted Drives in Windows 10/8.1/8/7 Home Edition and Windows 7 Professional Edition can be decrypted with this application. This utility enables users of Windows 10/8.1/8/7 Home Edition and Windows 7 Professional Edition to modify the password for a BitLocker encrypted drive.
We are unable to utilize BitLocker to encrypt the hard drive, SSD, USB drive, SD card, or CF card in Windows 10/8.1/8/7 Home & Windows 7 Pro since Microsoft has disabled the BitLocker Drive Encryption capability in these versions of Windows. Thankfully, these Windows editions allow you to encrypt devices with BitLocker using Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere For Windows.
