Solved Device Encryption Windows 11 Home 24H2.


TechnologyInThe said:
just as a clarification - in Windows 11 PRO, the Group Policy editor provides an easy interface to set the "BITLOCKER" preferences. but it is essentially controlling the REGISTRY entries that the "WINDOWS "X" HOME section of the tutorial is doing. it just does not have the easier interface to do this . The tuturoal makes it easy to see which registry entries are used.

100% correct. The tutorial makes it even easier by providing downloadable REG files to make the registry changes for you.

Correct, you'll just need to use the REG option instead to set the policy since you don't have GPEDIT in Home.

Device Encryption is basically a lite version of BitLocker. You can only encrypt the OS drive with Device Encryption and not any internal (data) or external (removable) drives.

The recovery key for Device Encryption is backed up the same way as with BitLocker below. It is recommended to back up to your Microsoft account to make it easier, but either option below will do.

You're most welcome.

No official 24H2 release date has been issued, but I would suspect sometime around September to October. We'll have to wait and see.

24H2 is already released on Copilot+ PCs though, and in the Insider Release Preview channel.
