Win7 Pro encryption?

I've got a Windows 7 Pro laptop & need to get data on it encrypted, namley two databases & an Outlook data file (don't see any need for whole disk, but don't really know). Due to some applications on the laptop there isn't currently the option to move on from Win7. As Win7 Pro has no form of system or included encryption, I guess that I'll be looking for something aftermarket. My main concerns are;

Performance overheads - one of the DB's in use is pretty large & not the smartest & i would prefer not to have to deal with any noticable impact on performance.

As I don't know much about the subject I'm mildly concerned about "locking myself out"

Edit:- if it makes any odd's, it got TPM (Discrete TPM 1.2 / Firmware TPM2.0) & fingerprint reader.

Any advice much appreciated.
