I have a Windows 11 Home edition not running on laptop and I need to have my Hard-Drive encrypted.The issue is that BitLocker is only available for Win Professional edition. I've found our the Device Encryption feature under all Windows editions but I cannot enable it it does not appear under Update & Security.I've found out using the System Information tool under Device Encryption Support that I have an issue, here it is :Reasons for failed automatic device encryption: Hardware Security Test Interface failed and device is not Modern Sta

Device Encryption for Windows 11 doesn't show, even though TPM 2.0 is enabled

Hello,

For some reason, that I can not find the answer to, Device Encryption will not show up in the Windows 11 settings. Here is the hardware I am using:

• Motherboard: MSI MAG Z590 Tomahawk Wifi
  
• CPU: Intel i7 11700k @3.60GHz, 8 core
  
• SSD: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB
  
• SSD: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB
  

When I run the `tpm.msc` program, it shows that I do have TPM version 2.0 enabled and that it is ready for user. Yet, when I run the `msinfo32` program (System Information) and take a look at the Device Encryption support, it is showing this:

Reasons for failed automatic device encryption: PCR7 Binding is not supported, Hardware Security Test Interface failed and device is not in Modern Standby, Un-Allowed DMA Capable bus/devices detected.

I have done a lot of research and can't seem to find why Device Encryption isn't supported.

Windows 11 home device encryption

I have windows 11 home version on my PC. Under Device encryption it says- Elevation required to view. What does that mean? Will I have to upgrade to Window 11 Pro to get device encryption?
