- question: What is BitLocker To Go?
answer: |
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](/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**.
