Use VeraCrypt. Bitlocker is a disaster. Closed source, proprietary hardware and software that can be unlocked with the password to your Microsoft account.
VeraCrypt can make hidden partitions, and only YOU know the password.

TrueCrypt is a discontinued source-available freeware utility used for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE). It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or encrypt a partition or (under Microsoft Windows except Windows 7/8 boot drive with GPT) the entire storage device (pre-boot authentication).
On 28 May 2014, the TrueCrypt website announced that the project was no longer maintained and recommended users to find alternative solutions. Though development of TrueCrypt has ceased, an independent audit of TrueCrypt has concluded that no significant flaws are present.
Alternatives include two freeware projects based on the TrueCrypt code, VeraCrypt and CipherShed, as well as numerous commercial and open-source products

They aren't services, they are software programs. Truecrypt is 'dead' but honestly, I still use it and it works great. Bitlocker is probably a better way to go.
TrueCrypt was never broken or hacked and it has been audited. I'd recommend trying it out. It's easy to use and has some amazing features.
The TrueCrypt project died. The software has been taken over by VeraCrypt:
