DB, I am dissapointed too- it doesnt work on my Windows 3.1.

DB, can u share with me the software please ?

BobT, Windows 10 can access the volumes encrypted in Windows 7 without any problems, but the volumes encrypted in Windows 10 that you want to access in Windows 7 must be encrypted using compatible mode. All three of your operating systems support BitLocker, so you don't need to buy our product.

Matt,

All the docs I've read say that for personal [non-enterprise] use Microsoft's BitLocker stores the key either using the TPM, or if that's not present on the device, a USB stick that must be inserted before booting if the system drive is encrypted. OTOH I have TPM disabled in the bios, flipped the switch to enable BitLocker on one of my drive partitions [using win10 pro], and get a dialog asking if I want to use a password or smart card to unlock the drive, so in some cases you may be correct about storing keys in the registry.

BitLocker -- Microsoft's & I think Hasleo's BitLocker Anywhere -- let you encrypt a USB stick, same as any other drive. Encrypted Safes or Vaults are VHDs [Virtual Hard Disks] that are encrypted the same as a physical drive partition. VeraCrypt can easily create encrypted VHDs; Microsoft's BitLocker can encrypt them, but reports I've read say it's a bit iffy to get working properly; I didn't find anything about using BitLocker Anywhere with VHDs, but my guess is that while VeraCrypt Mounts & Decrypts the VHD, you'd use Windows to mount a Mircosoft format .vhd file, using BitLocker Anywhere to encrypt & decrypt it as if it was a physical drive.

sorry, this license does not include free upgrades.

Georgina, Hasleo does not supply the BitLocker, it uses the existent OS BitLocker and just makes it easier to use and manipulate.

You're completely wrong. After analyzing the BitLocker drive encrypted by Windows hundreds of times, we finally implemented the encryption algorithm ourselves, which is fully compatible with the Windows BitLocker encryption algorithm. We have Linux and Mac versions, which can prove everything.

Georgina, I think it's mainly a personal preference. If you like open source software, then Veracrypt/TrueCrypt is the best choice. If you trust Microsoft then BitLocker should be a better option. Personally, I think Veracrypt is too complex and suitable for professionals, BitLcoker is simpler and easier to use. I have a question. Does VeraCrypt supports encrypting Windows System partition on a GPT disk?

Hasleo Software, you wrote:
"...which is fully compatible with the Windows BitLocker encryption algorithm...", to be fully compatible it must have the same call routings, same key(s) used as MS. same places stored the password(s), same memory configurations and so on, in other words, it is almost carbon copy from the original MS Bit Locker.

To be different, please numerate the differences from the MS BitLocker, is it faster, is it smaller, is it portable, is it, less complex, and so on.

David, Yes, of course, as long as you have the correct access password or BitLocker recovery key.

David, No it can not, a workstation may have a different key. MS key(s) reside in the OS drive (server) and you could have a different key on another PC attached to the server. The complexity of passwords and keys may render your USB drive not accessible in the future, depending where that drive is integrated in or plugged in the network.
BitLocker is very fussy about where the encrypted key was issued. If you change the server or the server crashes for good and the original key was there, there is no way can can ever decrypt the USB drive.

Even if your computer does not have a TPM, you can unlock the BitLocker drive directly with a password, so unlocking the BitLocker drive with a USB drive is not the only option.

Hasleo Software, this is also my question. Is there any benefit to install your software on a Windows 10 Pro system and would you recommend the installation?

Lilien, Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere is primarily to provide BitLocker disk encryption for Windows Home users, and in fact it can also run on Windows Pro/Enterprise editions. We know that Windows 10 Pro edition fully supports BitLocker, so you can use the BitLocker feature built into Windows directly.

Hasleo Software,

Thank you for participating "live" during the offer/user comments period -- much appreciated!

The idea of having some sort of security/privacy on our systems seems good, especially for a laptop/notebook computer that is more likely to be stolen.

However, for those of us who are not familiar with implementing BitLocker on our system, and who (like me) have, so far, been hesitant to turn it on, could you describe and compare, in layman's terms, what would be the advantages (and any disadvantages/"gotcha's") of using your BitLocker Anywhere vs simply turning the feature on via MS Windows own built-in settings?

Since last visiting the feature (and trying, then removing) BitLocker in Windows 8.1 prior to the automatic updates/upgrades to Windows 10, I just confirmed to myself that it is no longer available in the settings of Windows 10 Home (which, no doubt, has been known and obvious to many).

Also, the description above mentions "almost all the features" -- which ones are NOT available -- anything critical?

Interestingly, I did a search on this topic and the second result was a reference to your product:

https://www.easyuefi.com/bitlocker-anywhere/resource/how-to-turn-on-bitlocker-in-windows-10-home.html

(The first search result was this; but too bad the thread is now locked, or you could add your solution to it:)

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10/bitlocker-on-windows-10-home-edition/4fd2eecd-2931-4709-ad4e-85bbf3e241f0

...and many, many others, of course -- this is a popular topic with a lot of people interested but, like me, too timid to "experiment" on their one-and-only system for fear of somehow getting irreversibly locked out.

So, a little hand-holding please?

Dave, if your files are important, make regularly backups and you don't have to worry!

Sauerkraut, I think Dave is on about the security of the files, not if they will be safe due to data loss.

Dave, you can switch remote desktop off in 10 pro

Dave,

As Jim posted, remote desktop can be turned off, though you *might* make a case that if your system was breached, the attacker(s) might re-activate remote desktop if Windows included it, e.g. win10 pro. In general however *in my opinion*, they'd be more inclined to use non-Microsoft software for remoting, including that code in their malware.

Where win10 pro is more often thought worth it, is its ability to delay updates &/or version upgrades. If/when Microsoft pushes out an update or upgrade that causes problems, with win10 Home, you're stuck until Microsoft issues a fix. I have a tablet running win10 Home, and while it wasn't a huge issue because I only use it very occasionally, a few versions back it was unusable [Windows wouldn't start] for 3 months after a new win10 version was pushed out -- eventually an Insider build worked, but I had to test every new Insider build that was released, & when it didn't work, restore a disk image backup.

That said, if you can store the files you're interested in encrypting wherever you want, an encrypted VHD [also called safes or vaults] might be the easiest option, plus you could copy the single file making up the VHD wherever you wanted for additional backup protection. Copy it to 2 or more cloud accounts and it would take a pretty severe natural disaster before you lost your stuff. ;)
