Bitlocker - is it worth it? Win10 pro apparently has it, win7 pro doesn't. I'm probably going to downgrade win10 pro to win7 pro but is it worth paying for an ultimate licence to get bitlocker on win7? Are there any alternatives for giving some security to a laptop? Sounds like bitlocker will run with hardware encryption rather than software via TPM which my machine should have (TBC when it arrives) .
