Is that complicated?
Discussion
Not really.
Windows has BitLocker.
To encrypt? Easy when first installing. Can get sticky if you’ve been using your drive already. For an existing system it is better to just encrypt a secure folder for your sensitive files or easiest of all just encrypt the individual files themselves.

I’m a huge fan of Picocrypt
One day we will take you to lunch/dinner. You have been invaluable. So is Webroot any good? Or is it made to sell, as Daddy would day?
I really don’t know anything about them. I’ve never been overly impressed with any anti-virus products and there are plenty of FOSS solutions.
Unless you have things going on that I don’t know about using cryptomator or Picocrypt for anything that has banking or personal information and then storing backups for everything.
Having a worst case of a fresh install with anything critical backed up and anything sensitive encrypted is not the end of the world.
