Things to note before installation:
- You will have to restart your computer during the installation process. Close all programs before starting the PGP Desktop installer.
- If installing on a laptop, make sure it's on AC power/charging.
- You'll need to be connected to the Internet. Check connectivity if you're unsure.
- Installing the software takes minutes, however the whole disk encryption process can take a number of hours to complete (depending on the size of your hard drive). For an average sized hard drive, the encryption process takes ~4 hours. You can still use your computer during this time, however performance will be affected while it's encrypting. You may want to start the process at the end of the day and just let it run overnight.
- Cautions:
- youenable both ascreen saver passwordandwake-from-sleeppassword for PGP Desktop to be effective. Without having a password protecting the computer upon wake-from-sleep or wake-from-screen saver, anyone who finds/takes your computer will have access to everything on it.
- remember that PGP Whole Disk Encryption only prevents access to the data on your computer from loss or theft. While the computer is running, a virus or other malicious software would have access to the data you have access to.

Installation
Best Pgp Encryption Software Windows 10
Using PGP doesn't completely encrypt all aspects of your email: the sender and receiver information is unencrypted. Encrypting the sender and receiver information would break email. For similar reasons, PGP does not encrypt the subject line of your emails so you may want to use a generic subject line when sending encrypted emails.
1. Launch the installer.
- Just upgraded 2 computers from Windows 7 (64-bit Pro) to Windows 10 (64-bit Pro) on which I'd been using PGP Desktop 10.1.1 (Build 10) primarily to encrypt/decrypt virtual disks on local HDDs and various external drives (e.g., thumb drives, external HDDs). I uninstalled PGP before upgrading and then reinstalled it after upgrading.
- OpenPGP is the most widely used email encryption standard. It is defined by the OpenPGP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a Proposed Standard in RFC 4880. OpenPGP was originally derived from the PGP software, created by Phil Zimmermann.
- Gpg4win is a Windows version of GnuPG featuring a context menu tool, a crypto manager, and an Outlook plugin to send and receive standard PGP/MIME mails. The current version of Gpg4win is 3.1.14. The current version of Gpg4win is 3.1.14.

6. Finish.
7. PGP Desktop is now installed and will automatically begin encrypting your hard drive. In the lower right, you'll see the PGP lock icon showing its spinning work-in-progress status.
8. You can open PGP Desktop by right-clicking the PGP lock icon and choosing the option, or via the Start menu.

- You can also just shut the lid on the computer, putting it to sleep, and the encryption process will resume automatically upon wake up.
- If you haven't already set your wake-from-sleep password or wake-from-screensaver password, do so now.
9. The next time you reboot your computer, you'll see the following screen. This is the pre-boot authentication screen that protects your computer from unauthorized access and accepts your password. PGP is now installed and is protecting the data on your computer in case it's lost or stolen.
