Windows 11 Professional is the definitive edition for business users, freelancers, and IT professionals who require the full feature set of Windows 11 along with enterprise-grade security and management tools. It includes BitLocker Drive Encryption and BitLocker To Go for protecting data on both internal drives and portable USB storage devices.
