What's on your disk, and what "encrypted" actually means
In this lesson
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.
