I used TrueCrypt, a software encryption, for full drive encryption (FDE) on several laptops for many years and I never experienced a noticeable effect on performance. TrueCrypt was discontinued but Veracrypt is a clone with improvements There are a few features that I still prefer with both of these programs versus Bitlocker.
I have Bitlocker on Windows 10 Pro on my 6 year old Lenovo ThinkPad and again I have never felt any performance lag, as compared to my office's desktop computers without encryption.
I would never have a laptop (or other portable device) without full drive encryption. There is so much potential "leakage" of data to temporary files, etc.
