[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1029557, member: 99014"] Ideally, yes. Encryption will slow read/write speeds. Even on a relatively cheap SSD this performance hit is most likely to be noticed mainly when installing large software (like Adobe creative software) which is not a day-to-day operation. Since you are looking to protect your data, you will have to accept this performance impact. Bitlocker is your best option and is already included in your license. Secure boot prevents malicious code from being ran during startup, before security components and procedures have been fully loaded. Starting early will allow it to hide itself or remove security measures. It works by allowing only trusted publishers to add to the startup sequence. The bypass you shared was patched long time ago. Hyper-V provides features necessary for you to run additional OS within an OS which can be useful for testing software you suspect is malicious.

You will have to check Intel/AMD website to find out if your CPU supports that. Points 5 and 6 are up to your preference really. [/QUOTE]
