My new Vivobook laptop boot drive is encrypted but not protected with a password. I have no security concerns, only use the laptop at home, no one else has access to it. Should I decrypt the drive or just leave it encrypted? Is encrypting slowing down this fast SSD (NVMe Micron_2450_MTFDKBA512TFK)? When I clicked on decrypt, I got a red warning that this may take very long (150GB data) and I read on the website that it may even take days, so I cancelled. I asked ASUS Support why they encrypt drives (factory default) but did not get a reply. All comments appreciated.
