> [@asdffdsa](#): > > able to read/copy/edit rclone.conf from that partition Sounds like your Win11 wasn’t installed according to Microsoft recommendations, otherwise I would expect the disk to be encrypted by BitLocker (aka device encryption in Windows Home when using a Microsoft account). Did you see a green checkmark on the Windows Security shield in the taskbar? Did you have all green checkmarks in Settings/Windows Security? Was BitLocker active under Settings/Device encryption? ---

> [@tilinux0](#): > > I need to upload the files and prevent anyone from altering the file to delete what's in the cloud. I have a couple of ideas, if your situation is that you can accept that somebody may have messed with the data you are uploading, but you want to be absolutely sure they cannot see or mess with your Gdrive. One possibility is to upload to another Gdrive that has its content shared with your main GDrive. You can the periodically copy the content from the insecure GDrive to you main Gdrive – using rclone on a secure computer or manually using 2-factor login in GDrive Web interface. Another possibility is to execute rclone on safe computer copying from the unsafe computer to your Gdrive. ---

this is a complex topic but very interesting, always something to learn. - i have never used home edition myself, or in corporate environment. sure some family have it, never tried to really secure it. i will have to look into win11.home and what are the requirements versus recommendations are. > [@Ole](#): > > BitLocker active for sure not, otherwise i could not boot using winpe iso and copy the rclone.conf file. my point is that not.secureboot+tpm is a joke unless there is no bios to disable them. edit: i have just read that win11.home requires a micro$oft email account. if true, then that combo scares the monkey in me! imho, humans suffer from a mental condition that dr.jojo calls clickatosis. clickatosis, or in the common vernacular, click-crazy, is when humans click on this and that without a conscious decision, thus allowing spyware into the winbox. now that spyware not only access all local user documents, but all micro$soft emails and onedrive documents. now, micro$soft connects winbox to android phone, run android apps on windoz. ---

> [@Ole](#): > > Sounds like your Win11 wasn’t installed according to Microsoft recommendations i installed win11.homeless. - not.secureboot enabled - tpm enabled. - used micro$soft account, using @hotmail.com email address. - installed rclone, created a remote - had that magical mythical "green checkmark on the Windows Security shield in the taskbar". see screenshot below. - shutdown - disabled not.secureboot - disabled tpm - booted into winpe. - mounted that hard drive c: drive as z: drive. - ran `rclone listremotes` ![image](https://forum.rclone.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4686552b23798e901d8380ff7598b7a0c38268d8.png) ![image](https://forum.rclone.org/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f9dd2278620ddb2f5e4e3578b640432f42cffa3f.png) ---

For what it's worth, I just reinstalled my gaming rig with Windows 11 from scratch, signed in with my normal MS account and BitLocker is off by default. I think the difference is based on if you are doing a 'fresh' clean install from MS / OEM install from a manufacturer or you want to turn it on. Regardless, if you want to turn on bitlocker, that would help with physical access to the disk which I think is the point. In my example on my home Linux server, I don't any disk encryption as if someone breaks into my house, steals my hard drive from the basement, good luck to them with getting it up and grabbing my password from it. ---

> [@Ole](#): > > I doubt this on a modern computer (that is ready for Windows 11), please give me a hint 1. from that link you shared [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-bitlocker](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-bitlocker) "on [Modern Standby](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby) or HSTI-compliant hardware." 2. as i am a dell guy, i found this [https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000124701/automatic-windows-device-encryption-bitlocker-on-dell-systems](https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000124701/automatic-windows-device-encryption-bitlocker-on-dell-systems) ![image](https://forum.rclone.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/007bc8ebe3dc9fc075b24e9d36fcefdd28b02392.png) so that defines a very narrow subset of devices, that support modern standby + soldered RAM. i do not think i ever worked on such a device. perhaps microsoft surface. and that explains my test results, using a hyper-v vm, and @Animosity022 example on physical. note: hyper-v guests have access to not.secureboot + tpm and i know for sure, bitlocker works fine. ---

We're severely hijacking this guy's thread. So let's end it please. Withy physical access and no encryption, you can see any data. ---

the OP has moved on to [https://forum.rclone.org/t/include-syntax-in-the-bat-script-to-read-the-password-and-run-rclone/28070/23](https://forum.rclone.org/t/include-syntax-in-the-bat-script-to-read-the-password-and-run-rclone/28070/23). i am helping there and will make sure to stay on the topic. which means this topic is open if anyone wants. if no one replies, then this will close on its own. we can see why win11.home would very rarely auto-enable device encryption. this is taken from w11.home system information. ![image](https://forum.rclone.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/372910c6a893e6799a299e33d61263cd6779d7cf.png) i would assume that is the same as @Animosity022 winbox? and on my lenovo thinkpad, w11.pro, with bitlocker already enabled ![image](https://forum.rclone.org/uploads/default/original/2X/f/faf129e82d31387e066905d4ff432751c7287dbd.png) i think that thunderbolt is not allowed to be enabled. ---
