Windows 10 (legacy) — Question 39

You need to enable BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker) on a computer named Computer1 that runs Windows 10. Computer1 has the following configurations:
✑ Contains only one 200-GB NTFS volume named C:\
✑ Contains 50 GB of unallocated disk space
✑ Is the member of a workgroup
✑ Has TPM enabled
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Create a VHD.
• B. Disable TPM.
• C. Create an additional volume.
• D. Join Computer1 to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To enable BitLocker, an additional volume is necessary because BitLocker requires a separate partition for the system volume to store the encryption metadata. Options A and D are irrelevant since they do not address the need for a separate volume, and option B is incorrect as TPM must remain enabled for BitLocker to function properly.
