Encrypt All Hard Disks on Computers When you enable the Encrypt all hard disks on computers option: All hard disks found on your computers will be encrypted. Any computer that was already encrypted will receive the encryption settings specified in Full Encryption. If the user decrypts any hard disks, Full Encryption will encrypt them again. If the hard disks are already encrypted and you enable the Encrypt all hard disks on computers option, Full Encryption does not reencrypt devices that are already encrypted. Full Encryption does encrypt any devices that are not already encrypted. When you disable the Encrypt all hard disks on computers option: If Full Encryption was never enabled on the computer, no action is taken. If the computer is encrypted by Full Encryption, the computer is decrypted. Ask for Password to Access the Computer This option enables password authentication when the computer starts up. Based on the platform and the presence of TPM hardware, two types of password are allowed: Devices with TPM: A PIN password is requested. Devices without TPM: A passphrase password is requested.
