BitLocker: convert drive from "Used Space Only" to "Fully Encrypted"
Hi
Is it possible to convert a drive that is encrypted under "Used Space Only Encrypted" to be "Fully Encrypted" instead?
I could do a full decrypt and re-encrypt, but that would take a very long time for this large drive.
I was sure that I selected "Fully Encrypted" from the beginning, but when I checkmanage-bde -status
the drive is listed as "Used Space Only Encrypted" so I must have missed that somehow. But I want to fix it now.
Side note: is it possible that a drive formatted with ReFS instead of NTFS could incorrectly be reported as "Used Space Only Encrypted"?
Thanks
