drive and reboot the system when ready.

When the system boots to the hard drive, Drive Encryption will request your Windows password.
Enter the password and click OK.
NOTE:
The computer may appear to run slowly while the drive is encrypting. Once totally

or decrypted as needed.
Also note that Drive Encryption authentication will “chain” through Credential Manager Windows
login directly to the desktop without having to enter your password twice.
