Mozilla recently sent out instruction on how to engage Bitlocker i.e. > System > Security > Bitlocker > Drive Encryption > Remember your Recovery Key & Password. The only problem is that Windows 10 doesn't have any of them any longer or at least not on the desktop so how do we get around this problem? From previous posts I see that From Vista Premium onward this problem seems to have existed. I am a 74 year old male and not all that smart. Thanks William.

BitLocker is only available for Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise and Education. If you are running Windows 10 Home, you won't be able to. You can see what version of Windows you have by clicking Start -> right click File Explorer, click MORE, then PROPERTIES. At the top of the newly opened window, it will tell you the Windows version.
