For increased security, the Windows operating system enables you to encrypt the hard drive
using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker).
BitLocker can encrypt your entire hard drive, including all user, system, swap, and hibernation
les. It can also protect against unauthorized changes to your system, such as rmware-level
malware.
BitLocker uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to provide advanced security protection for
your data and to ensure integrity checking of early boot components. Your PRIMUS system
already has a compatible TPM version that is required for using BitLocker.
To start encrypting your storage drive, do the following:
Using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption

1 Open the Start menu and click to expand the Windows System folder.
2 Click on the File Explorer.
3 Choose the storage drive that you want to encrypt and right-click on it.
4 Click on the Turn on BitLocker item.
5 Choose where to save the recovery key. The options include Save to a Microsoft account,
Save to a le, or Print the recovery key. Follow the onscreen instructions on saving the
recovery key. When done, click on the Next button.

The TPM is a security hardware device on the system board that holds computer-generated
keys for encryption. The purpose of the TPM is to help to avoid attacks by hackers who aim to
capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data. The TPM provides the ability to run
applications more secure and to make transactions and communication more trustworthy. The
security features provided by the TPM involve the following: random number generation, hashing,
asymmetric key generation, and asymmetric encryption/decryption. Each individual TPM has its
unique signature initialized during the silicon manufacturing process that further enhances its
trust/security effectiveness. Each TPM must have an Owner before it can be used as a security
device.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Protecting Your Computer
6 Choose how much of your drive to encrypt. The options include Encrypt used disk space only
and Encrypt entire drive. When done, click on the Next button.
7 Choose which encryption mode to use. The options include New encryption mode and
Compatible mode. When done, click on the Next button.
8 Check the Run BitLocker system check to ensure that BitLocker can read the recovery and
encryption keys correctly and then click on the Start encrypting button. The encryption
begins. The whole procedure might take a while depending on the size of the drive. While the
hard drive is being encrypted, you can keep working.
The TPM, when bundled with an optional security software package, can provide overall system
security, le protection features, and protect against email/privacy concerns.
To enable the TPM support and its associated features, do the following:
1 During system setup, press the F2 key to open the Nexstgo System Conguration utility.
2 Use the four-directional keys ( , , , ) on the keyboard to select Setup Utility and press
Enter key. The Setup Utility Main menu opens.

5 After done, press the F10 key to save the modications.
4 Press key and use , keys to select Trusted Computing and enable the necessary
TPM settings.
If you plan to dispose of, sell, or hand your computer over to another person, make sure to delete
all the sensitive data, such as your personal les and installed software.
You can use the following options to delete data from the storage drive:
Unfortunately the methods described above only change the location of the data on the storage
drive but do not delete the data itself. Using third party software, it is sometimes possible to
restore the deleted data. There is a risk that people might read and misuse the critical data on
storage drives for unforeseen purposes.
Thus, to prevent leakage of data, it is important to ensure all the data is deleted from the storage
drive. You can destroy the storage drive physically by breaking it into pieces or magnetically by
means of strong magnetic power making data unreadable. We recommend to use the second
option. To erase quickly and easily all of the magnetic information stored on the drive, enable

Deleting Data on the Storage Drive
Use the Nexstgo Backup and Recovery app to reset your computer to the factory default
values.
Format the storage drive to prepare it for initial use.
Move the data to the Recycle Bin and then empty the content of the Recycle Bin.

When you use the computer to access any apps that require Internet connection, you potentially
expose the computer to malware. Different malware, such as spyware, Trojan horses, viruses,
worms, and other malicious apps, can disable the operating system, apps, utilities, or cause them
to function unexpectedly.
Antivirus software can detect most of the malware, destroy them, and often repair any damage
that they have caused. To provide maximum protection against newly discovered malware, make
sure to keep the antivirus software up-to-date.
Your computer has Windows Defender Security Center preinstalled that also features virus and
threat protection. We strongly recommend that you continue to use an antivirus program in order
to provide full protection against malware.
Firewalls help to prevent unauthorized access to the system or network resources. A rewall can
be either a program installed on your computer and/or network, or a complete security solution
made up of hardware and software.
Usually there are two main types of rewalls to choose from:
When a rewall is installed on a system, all data entering or leaving the Internet, must pass
through the rewall. The rewall examines the data and blocks everything that does not meet the
specied security criteria.
Your computer has Windows Defender Security Center preinstalled that also features rewall and
network protection.
Using Antivirus Software
Using Firewall Software
Host-based rewalls that protect only the computer where they are installed on.
Network-based rewalls that are installed between DSL or cable modem and your home
network providing protection to all the computers connected on the network.
