I’m in favor of a heavy handed push towards encryption, I think most people don’t realize how important this is (now more than ever), but windows should be guiding and educating on this not requiring, and it should have absolutely nothing to do with an email address or online account.
On a home PC, what for? The only data that really matters to be encrypted is my keepass database file. Giving the option is fine but I don’t think it should done without asking the user to choose.
Im unfortunate to live in a country where the police can now quite easily enter a residents home and take their computer and use any data on it against them. Encryption can at least slow their nefarious efforts. I think most people should utilize encryption.

That’s what I said.

I live in one where refusing to decrypt it for them results in a 2 year prison sentence.
And yes, if you forget you will still be charged.
