Windows Operating System Fundamentals — Question 16

You are preparing to install Windows 10 on a new computer. You need to enable BitLocker for encryption. What is required in order to enable BitLocker?

Answer options

• A. FAT32 system drive
• B. Smart card
• C. NTFS system drive
• D. Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To enable BitLocker, the system drive must be formatted with NTFS, as it supports the necessary security features used by BitLocker. A FAT32 system drive does not meet the requirements for BitLocker encryption. While a smart card and a TPM can enhance security and provide additional features, they are not strictly required to enable BitLocker.
