encrypting the drive mainly prevent an eventual thief from getting access to your files, including personal documents and web cookies, since system passwords does absolutely nothing against someone with access to your hard drive, and that includes paswords you may have writtend on a file that you later deleted, where as if you encrypted your drive, there is nothing you have to worry about but to buy another computer if it is stolen
totally valid points, i’m just betting deadbeat eventual thief hasn’t got the smart on how to bypass windows passwords. It’s a gamble, but i’m willing to look into encryption based just off of that.
