Windows BitLocker

When reformatting your drive and installing a new operating system, make sure to apply full volume encryption. This will make it even harder to retrieve your data by follow-up owners or intruders. With Windows you can use BitLocker. On macOS there is File Vault and Linux users may find VeraCrypt useful.
