Having trouble with encrypting files/folders
I googled the subject and discovered that it's possible to encrypt individual files and folders with a password. I thought this would be a great idea after almost losing a flash drive recently. Some information would be best not lost to unauthorized people.
The instructions I was given for accomplishing this is as follows: Right click on file or folder, click Properties, then in the General tab click Advanced, then check the box next to "Encrypt Contents to Secure Data". That's where I have a problem. That section (Compress or Encrypt Attributes) is not "active" to allow me to put a check mark in the box. So that's where I'm stuck.
Can someone help me to resolve this?
BTW, I have Win10 Home Edition on a computer that I just bought from Walmart about 4 months ago.
