But my PC doesn't even have a password. So how can my files be encrypted? I thought a password was manditory for file encryption to work.

You probably haven't activate Bitlocker. Up until now it was optional with Windows. I would argue it isn't necessary for a desktop computer at home, but you should seriously consider activating disk encryption for a laptop.
