How to make BitLocker use 256-bit AES encryption instead of 128-bit AES on Windows 10

in #howto5 years ago

This tutorial video will show you step by step how to make BitLocker use 256-bit AES encryption instead of 128-bit AES on Windows 10.

By default, BitLocker uses 128-bit AES encryption, but you can change it to use 256-bit AES encryption instead.

Windows 10 (version 1511) introduced a new disk encryption mode (XTS-AES). This mode provides additional integrity support, but it's not compatible with older versions of Windows.

You can also select the disk encryption mode (AES-CBC) which is compatible with older versions of Windows. If you're encrypting a removable drive (e.g. USB flash drive or external hard drive) that you're going to use on an older version of Windows, then you should use AES-CBC.
