A Google search reveals some alternatives to BitLocker which you may want to investigate (looking for free options):

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.

Suggestions that begin with the word "try" are often wild goose chases.  Try not.  Do or do not.  There is no try.

Does a suggestion that says "it's worth a try" and "let us know how it goes" instill confidence?

Reinstalling Windows should not count as a "solution".
