Work out if I can use full disk encryption on my PC.
Wah!
It's possible to encrypt every OS out there.
Do it.
People lose laptops, people replace them and start using new ones and never wipe the old one, all kind of things.
Full disk encryption is a default no-brainer.
It means: If anything happens, who cares... your data is safe, and your computer is a brick.
Sure, someone can replace the OS and get a computer out of it, but they can never access your data.
There's only a few things I tell everyone to do:
- Use full disk encryption
- Use a password manager (LastPass unless you specifically know why to pick something else)
- Use full disk encryption

Well, more how to do it that anything. I'm on Windows 10 Home rather than Pro, so BitLocker isn't available by default.
I ought to check the version of Windows 7 that I have for the Desktop, and see if I can reuse that, but I also need to get the data off of the desktop too.
Does Windows 7 do an ongoing check to see if the OS key has been used elsewhere?

Do you use last pass premium?
In the end I gave up with it on my tablet because it became a bit of a hassle and ran out. I never picked it up again on my mobile.

I'm in much the same situation, although I understand a lot more of what's said in this thread, how to do a lot of it goes over my head.
Things that I have done:
Started using KeyPass (as I can store the file in Dropbox/Google drive and it syncs automatically for me) for password management. There is a good app for it on the Play store too.
Started to shift to running my own email server (on a RaspPi, instructions here I need to upgrade mine from a Model B really). I use the K-9 mail app on Android for it, and Thunderbird on the PC
I've set full disk encryption on my phone.
Things I ought to do:
Get the NAS working fully, so that it does backups and acts as cloud storage for me, rather than using Dropbox/Drive.
