New PC Pavilion : How do I encrypt my hard drive

[mariefe]

Hi

I want to fully encrypt my hard drive on my newly acquired HP Pavilion Laptop 13, running on Microsoft Windows 10 64bit

I've heard HP has an integrated encryption system called ProtectTools, but it is not present on my computer and I would like to download it. Unfortunately, it's nowhere to be found around here... 

Any advice? 

Thank you,

Best

Marie

Firstly does your machine have TPM option ? Please check Device Manager to see

Hi,

Thanks for your answer

Yes, I do have a trusted platform module 2.0 

But, given that I am on Windows 10 family, I have do not have Bitlocker on my PC 

Do I have any other options ?
