    I was able to turn on bitlocker for the internal ssd that I have. But I am unable to see any success with USB drives.



    When I got to Control Panel > System and Security > Bitlocker Drive Encryption, I am unable to see my USB drives. It just says "insert a USB drive to use Bitlocker To Go".



    Right-clicking on the USB drive in Windows Explorer, does not show Bitlocker option in the list.



    I have tried with multiple drives that I have. Formatted them via explorer and partition manager etc, and found no luck.



    Can anyone help?
