Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-d0000 (2V8U6AV)

Hi, I had a Victus laptop I purchased in July 2022 which I registered with my Microsoft account which was stolen the other day. I'm currently trying to find out if device encryption might have been enabled by default, as this seems to be the case for HP computers running Windows 11 but I contacted customer support and they were unable to give me an answer. What are the chances of it being enabled by default?

Hi @Turenne,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

 

I see that you are looking for information related to device encryption on your Laptop.

 

Device encryption is a Windows feature that provides a simple way for some devices to enable BitLocker encryption automatically. Device encryption is available on all Windows versions and is enabled on few Laptops/PC'S automatically.
