How to Password Protect Files in Windows 10

Yes, you can password protect files in Windows 10 to enhance the security of your important documents and data. Windows 10 provides built-in features that allow you to encrypt and protect your files with passwords.

One way to accomplish this is by using the built-in encryption feature called BitLocker. BitLocker allows you to encrypt entire drives or individual files and folders. To password protect a file with BitLocker, right-click on the file, select 'Properties,' go to the 'Advanced' tab, check the box that says 'Encrypt contents to secure data,' and then click 'OK'.

Another method is to use the built-in compressed folder feature in Windows 10. You can create a compressed folder, add your files to it, set a password for the folder, and then easily extract the files whenever you need them.

Additionally, you can use third-party encryption software like VeraCrypt or 7-Zip to password protect your files in Windows 10.
