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

This is technically correct, but for the record, apparently, you can't just use BitLocker and FileVault at the same time due to number of partitions. – pupeno – 2015-11-07T13:21:57.300
