Hi,
You can use the built-in encryption feature in Windows (excluding Home edition). Create a new folder and move all the files you'd like to encrypt into that folder.
Right-click that folder and go to Properties. Next, in the General tab, click Advanced and select Encrypt contents to secure data > Ok > Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files.
To avoid losing access to the encrypted folder, create a backup of your encryption certificate and key as recommended. Click the notification and follow the instructions.
If you're using Windows Home Edition, the encryption feature isn't available. Instead, give a try to AxCrypt or 7-Zip to be able to encrypt your files and folders.
