After encryption completes, how can you verify that BitLocker is enabled on the System (C:) drive?

• A. In File Explorer, This PC shows a lock icon on the System (C:) drive
• B. In BIOS TPM status shows Enabled
• C. In the Windows Update history
• D. In the Network and Sharing Center

Answer: (A)

The key idea is recognizing BitLocker protection by a visual cue in File Explorer. When the system drive (C:) is encrypted with BitLocker, you’ll see a small lock icon on that drive in This PC (or Windows Explorer). That lock indicates the drive is protected by BitLocker. Other options don’t show BitLocker status: TPM being Enabled only means the hardware security module is available, not that the drive is encrypted; Windows Update history and Network and Sharing Center don’t reflect BitLocker status. If you want a more formal check, you can view BitLocker Drive Encryption settings in the Control Panel or Settings to confirm the drive shows as On.
