Once you finish the backup, you can encrypt the drive using these options. Simply hit Continue, and BitLocker will check your system and start encrypting your boot drive. It might take an hour or two, depending on the size of your drive and speed of your system. Then, it will reboot and prompt you for the USB key, if it isn't already inserted. Once you reboot, you're finished; you've got BitLocker running.
