A portable laptop is running Windows 10 Pro. A user enables BitLocker on Drive D. Which of the following statements is true? If the user copies of filed to a network share, it remains encrypted. If the user copies a file to an unencrypted USB drive, the file remains encrypted. The files will be automatically decrypted when the drive is installed in another computer. All of these statements are true. None of these statements are true.

Back

None of these statements are true

Answer explanation

BitLocker is a full disc encryption solution. BitLocker protects a drive, and the file starts on the drive against Data Theft if the device is lost or stolen.

However, the files are only protected while they reside on the drive.

These files lose their encryption when they are copied to a network share or an unencrypted Drive.

As a result, your files will not stay encrypted if you copy them to a network share or a USB disk.

You would have to use another encryption method for a network share or USB storage.
