His friend is using a Windows 10 Pro system that still requires Secure Boot to be enabled in BIOS. The Secure Boot setting remains off, though it can be turned on if necessary. He doesn’t use Microsoft Accounts and has three physical drives: one NVMe partitioned across C: and D:, and two SATA SSDs. For this setup, the best choice depends on your preference—encrypt all partitions automatically via Device Encryption in Windows Settings, or enable BitLocker manually per partition with auto-unlock on logon. I tried to help but avoided making changes directly, as I’m not familiar with BitLocker configurations. Let me know if you’d like advice before proceeding.
