How to Create a Password Protected Folder in Windows 10

Creating a password-protected folder in Windows 10 can be a crucial step to enhance the security of your sensitive files and information. While Windows 10 doesn't have a built-in feature to password protect folders, you can easily achieve this using third-party tools or by leveraging the in-built encryption feature called BitLocker.

If you want a simple and effective way to password protect your folders in Windows 10, you can use software like '7-Zip' or 'VeraCrypt', which allows you to create encrypted archives or containers respectively. These tools provide a secure way to safeguard your files by encrypting them with a password.

On the other hand, if you prefer to use the built-in encryption solution, BitLocker, you can encrypt entire drives on your system, including external drives and USB flash drives. By encrypting the drive where your sensitive folders are stored, you effectively protect them from unauthorized access.
