<summary>Operating System Encryption</summary>
|
|
|
|
For encrypting your OS drive, we typically recommend using the encryption tool your operating system provides, whether that is **BitLocker** on Windows, **FileVault** on macOS, or **LUKS** on Linux. These tools are included with the operating system and take advantage of hardware encryption elements such as a [secure cryptoprocessor](../basics/hardware.md/#tpmsecure-cryptoprocessor).
