    Cannot encrypt.


    Bitlocker is listed in computer management but not in control panel. The other encryption I was referred to in Update and Security is not there either and the system info reads "Device Encryption SupportReasons for failed automatic device encryption: Un-allowed DMA capable bus/devices detected" I just did a fresh install and have no sleep button either which I have a separate question on.

    :)
