I have a windows 10 home edition laptop...was wondering why i cant encrypt the drive or any individual folders or files.

Is this standard for home edition?

I assume you are referring to BitLocker? Give this Technet a read, https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/keep-secure/bitlocker-overview

 

Thanks for replying, i think its not working because its formatted as one drive instead of 2

 

Well I shrunk my drive and made a second partition, the second partition wont let me encrypt any files or folders either...its greyed out

 

So i have seen that its not available in Windows 10 home

 

if it's grayed out, try going back to Disk Management and allocate that partition? and yeah, bit locker is only available on Windows Pro versions in my experience.
