Hi All,

 

Do I need to back up Windows C before Decrypting process done successfully? Is it possible I can loss everything inside without back up it first?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

Good practice is when we do something with HDD (reorg ...), to protect our data, we need to backup before hand. Batter than say sorry later.

Understanding what "HP Drive Encryption" means doesn't help. Knowing how to uninstall it so I can update my Windows 10 to 10.2 is what we need to know. The error message states "Error 9998: HP Client Security Manager 8.x is required." I need to know how to obtain this do that I can update my Windows and better secure my machine.
