How do I enable BitLocker on Hololens?

In Settings > System > About under the Software Category I can see that BitLocker is disabled.

Does anyone know how we could turn BitLocker on?

Thanks,
Alex

    You cannot do this on HoloLens, the File Explorer does not exist, BitLocker can not be used as full Administration code does not exist, the only way to copy files is using OneDrive, which cannot be encrypted Drives as such do not exist and if you put a Bit Locked USB into the micro USB it will fail

    Thanks @Jimbohalo10 for your prompt response.

    I am not interested in encrypting files on OneDrive, nor accessing BitLocker enabled USB sticks.

    My question is how to enable BitLocker on the Hololens storage that currently shows as Disabled. If BitLocker is indeed not part of the Windows 10 Hololens version then why list it as disabled and not as unavailable?

    Thanks,
    Alex

    The nature of HoloLens software could be described as full Windows 10 x86 software, but with a Windows 10 Mobile Phone start-up. Similar to Lumina 635 phone startup

    This means many functions are not available simply because the services have been disabled as with BitLocker. If you disable the BitLocker service in normal Window 10 you get the same response. Normal Windows 10 Services memory is 2.9GB memory usage, well that's just wiped out HoloLens memory!
