    Windows device encryption


    I have a windows 8.1 desktop. My security providers have identified an update requirement for windows device encryption from 6.3.9600.16384 to 10.0.22557.1. Can you advise on how this can be done as I have no device encryption option listed on my PC Info page? Thanks.

    :)
