Windows passwords alone are not a strong security measure, as they can be easily bypassed or cracked using various techniques. Therefore, it's better to encrypt your files with software that not even the best decrypt programs can access.

➡️ https://www.veracrypt.fr/code/VeraCrypt/

VeraCrypt is a powerful open-source encryption tool used to secure sensitive data by creating encrypted volumes or encrypting entire drives. It is one encryption tool that I use for my own drives as well and it is easy to manage and uses 500000 iterations whereas other encrypters such as TrueCrypt use at most 2000 iterations. It’s a great choice if you wanna protect your data & privacy as it is a free encryption solution.

Here is a video on how to use VeraCrypt:

 
I used Veracrypt for my entire drive back in the day.

Encrypting single files didn't seem secure so I did the whole PC and it didn't let you pass the boot if the password wasn't entered.

It takes more than a minute to confirm the password, so brute force isn't possible.
 
I was thinking of doing this when I was in college for my network administrator degree, but after that I was like 20+ password length goodluck with that.

Learned that the hard way when someone managed to RCE me through Modern Warfare 2 ( original).

These days everything foreign gets tested and used on a VM.
