    Hi, I remember when I had Windows Vista Ultimate there was BitLocker encryption. Does Windows 7 x64 Professional have a built-in feature to fully encrypt the entire disc? If so, would it wipe my current data first and then encrypt, or would I be able to keep all of my present data and just encrypt the entire drive so that someone with physical access to my laptop cannot read the contents of the drive from a different OS?
