Ray.
Ray is correct, the home version does not include Bitlocker, that's for
Pro and Enterprise versions.
Apologies this is correct and that was me being lazy with assumptions.
Windows 10 Home does not include BitLocker by name. It does however have
this:
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-device-encryption-windows-10-home
Which works in exactly the same way but without the userspace control
panel knobs - beneath the covers it's presumably using the exact same
dlls and _is_ Bitlocker in all but branding in order for Microsoft to be
able to distinguish the full product in the Pro/Workstation/Enterprise
SDKs. Windows 10 Home - if the user is signed is with a Microsoft
Account rather than a local account - will also automatically escrow the
key generated during the disk encryption to the account's cloud storage.
Well, that is at least my understanding of it but to be honest I think
I'm probably a bit out of date and need to check up on how all this
actually works because I'm probably wrong. I was wrong about it being
called Bitlocker just for a start after all... I just presumed it was
Bitlocker for the above reasons. Turns out I use Windows 10 Home so
little (basically as long as it takes to migrate it to Pro) that I don't
really know what I'm talking about.
The moral of the story is that A: Windows Home Editions suck and B: they
don't have Bitlocker but something that looks a bit like it. And also I
don't know anything about Windows 10 Home + Bitlocker ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
