What's on your disk, and what "encrypted" actually means

Look inside your laptop's storage in plain English, and learn what changes when it's scrambled (encrypted) vs wide open.

You'll be able to

  • Describe what's actually on a laptop's hard drive in everyday language (files, folders, system stuff).
  • Explain what "encrypted" means using an everyday analogy, and what it does NOT mean.
  • Decide whether your own laptop is currently locked or wide open at rest.
