HP offer HP ProtectTools as a solution but you might find simply using Windows' Bitlocker just as useful.

Thanx MASQ!<br />
<br />
Last question,<br />
<br />

<ul>
<li>I assume that by &quot;activating&quot; (is this correct?) TPM in my HP, is it going to encrypt the entire 500gb drive?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Also, I have in the HP various TrueCrypt volumes in the drive, if TPM is going to encrypt the entire drive, should I move the volume out of drive and after TPM does its task, move the volumes back?</li>
</ul>
<br />
(sorry guys if these question somewhat dumb - but thank u!)

Thanx MASQ!

Last question,


 * I assume that by "activating" (is this correct?) TPM in my HP, is it going to encrypt the entire 500gb drive?

 * Also, I have in the HP various TrueCrypt volumes in the drive, if TPM is going to encrypt the entire drive, should I move the volume out of drive and after TPM does its task, move the volumes back?

&quot;TrueCrypt volumes&quot; =?<br />
You mean encrypted partitions or just truecrypt containers? The latter has no problems to be saved on bitlocked drives.

"TrueCrypt volumes" =?

Hi,<br />
<br />
A friend computer has an Endpoint encryption software that request password every time it restart; it's actually an encryption apps that she purchased (this is so if her computer is stolen, her data is protected). &nbsp;I was given some time back an HP Spectre x360 to work with when I got in. &nbsp;I want to know if HP has an equivalent apps - is there a way to find out?

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
