Full Disk Encryption Software for Windows 8 (x86 and x64) ?
Hi, Are there any reputable and reasonably-priced Whole Disk/Full Disk Encryption software programs available for Windows 8 Basic version (both x86 and x64) ? Apparently PGP/Symantec and TrueCrypt do not yet support Windows 8. Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise come with Windows Bitlocker, but there is a need for full disk encryption on Windows 8 (basic/standard) computers.
TIA,

I am pretty sure that truecrypt will support win8 right now, as long as you don't install win8 with the option "secure boot". Read of people that have successfully encrypted 8 with TC.

Thanks All - We will try TrueCrypt this week. Also, is the Anytime Upgrade available on Windows 8 ? I was not at all familiar with that option, but when I do a Google Search it only shows it for Windows 7 ...

Perfect, thanks all !
It works the same way as Anytime Upgrade, but you do it from Add Windows Features ... enter a Product Key, wait 5-10 minutes, reboot, then you are running Windows 8 Pro.

Perfect, we will try that - thanks again !
