System requirements for GiliSoft File Lock Pro

Checking the system requirements of any product you intend to install on your PC is a good idea. Mostly because if it's not compatible with your PC to begin with, it can save you a lot of time and aggravation.

With that in mind, let's have a look at the system requirements for GiliSoft File Lock Pro:

• Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2003, and 2000 are the operating systems supported.
• Architecture: 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.
• Processor: Intel Pentium 4 or higher processor
• Installation requires at least 50 MB of free HDD space.
• Memory: 512 MB RAM is required.

As you can see, GiliSoft File Lock Pro does not require a powerful computer to run. If it worked on Windows 2000, there's a good chance it'll work on your computer as well.

The architectural element of the sys req isn't available in the initial sys req. After testing the software on a 64-bit Windows 10 system, we included that section for clarity. Needless to say, it went off without a hitch.

Pros of Our Review

Pros

• A wide range of content security options are available.
• Both local and external storage media are supported.

Cons

• the folder monitor component
• Interface seems a little antiquated.

There is a free trial available.

Unfortunately, if you wish to utilise GiliSoft File Lock Pro without limitations, you'll have to reach for your wallet. On the plus side, there is a free trial available that you may download and enjoy.

However, there is a catch: you can only safeguard your files using a default, unsecure password. Granted, this can help naive users who don't know what their default password is (hint: it's "123456"), but it has little to no effect on advanced users.

Installing it is simple, however it does necessitate a restart.

If you're new to the game, there's some good news for you. To begin with, installing GiliSoft File Lock Pro on your computer is simple. Simply run the installer application after downloading it and follow the on-screen instructions.

The wizard will walk you through the setup process step by step. All you have to do now is accept the licence agreement, choose an installation path, and set up shortcut creation.

The installer will prompt you to restart your computer at the end of the setup. Although many other software solutions do not require this restart, GiliSoft File Lock Pro may cause difficulties if you do not reboot.

Interface that is easy to use

You'll have little to no trouble learning and using GiliSoft File Lock Pro even if you have no prior familiarity with computers. It has a simple user interface with easy-to-understand controls.

You must configure a password, confirm it, and indicate that you have backed it up in a safe area the first time you run it. You may also enter your email address to have the password sent to you if you forget it.

On the left side of the main window, numerous sections are laid appropriately so that you can easily identify them. On the right side of the screen, there are unique controls for each key section.

How to Make GiliSoft File Lock Pro Work For You

Let's imagine you wish to make a file, folder, or entire drive invisible. In the Local Disk category, navigate to the Hiding File section. Depending on your settings, click the Hide File/Folder/Drive option after you've arrived.

Make sure the content you want to hide is in the centre of the screen by selecting it and moving it there. Once the things are loaded, you can use the appropriate buttons on the right to make them disappear and reappear. Isn't that simple?

If you wish to lock, safeguard, or monitor a folder, you can do the same thing. You simply use the specified routines to load the folder, then update its state. Note that you'll need to enter the password you set up before you can do any of these things.
