# BitLocker To Go FAQ
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
|
||
## What is BitLocker To Go?
|
||
|
||
BitLocker To Go is BitLocker Drive Encryption on removable data drives. This feature includes the encryption of:
|
||
|
||
- USB flash drives
|
||
- SD cards
|
||
- External hard disk drives
|
||
- Other drives that are formatted by using the NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT file system.
|
||
|
||
Drive partitioning must meet the [BitLocker Drive Encryption Partitioning Requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/bitlocker-drive-encryption#bitlocker-drive-encryption-partitioning-requirements).
|
||
|
||
As with BitLocker, you can open drives that are encrypted by BitLocker To Go by using a password or smart card on another computer. In Control Panel, use **BitLocker Drive Encryption**.
