Does Windows 10's BitLocker need special hardware support or can I expect it to work in any computer (such as Mac Book Pro)?

Bitlocker normally requires the computer to have a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip. Apple has not shipped a computer with TPM since 2006.

It is possible to work around the lack of a TPM chip by setting a Group Policy of Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM under Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> BitLocker Drive Encryption -> Operating System Drives. Step by step instructions for that are here
