I was told that Windows 10 should have Bitlocker available to be enabled but it is not. Did the free version of Win 10 not include this? I need encryption in order to use the Mail app for my work exchange email.
Mar 18, 2018 The machine is Bitlocker’ed prior to joining the Domain. The machine is not physically connected to the Network when enabling Bitlocker. When the GPO for Saving Recovery Information for Bitlocker is not setup correctly. Then we could follow the below article to recover the bitlocker key. Nov 30, 2018 However, almost two years after windows 10 was released, Microsoft still doesn't enable the BitLocker Drive Encryption feature in Windows 10 Home edition, so no matter what we do, we can't turn on the BitLocker feature in Windows 10 Home edition by default. I have to say it's a shame for Windows 10 Home Edition users. Windows 10 just doesn't support encrypting the system drive. Bitlocker also is a separate feature then 'Device Encryption' which Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 tablets support. – Ramhound Aug 28 '15 at 11.

BitLocker is only available in Pro and Enterprise editions of Windows 10, if you've got Windows 10 Home then that feature won't be available to you.
There is a nice explanation of what edition of Windows 10 you will have after your free upgrade on the Microsoft site, but I'll do my best to replicate it here:
Bitlocker Not Showing Up In Windows 10
Windows 7
- Starter, Home Basic and Home Premium upgrade to Windows 10 Home
- Professional and Ultimate upgrade to Windows 10 Pro
Windows 8
