HI,

I need to encrypt my laptop. I have an HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba000nl.

In the system information, run as administrator, the message for encryption is this:

“The hardware security test interface failed and the device is not Modern Standby.”

 

How can I encrypt my laptop? I really need this feature for work.

"How can I encrypt my laptop? I really need this feature for work."

 

Your laptop was delivered with Windows 10 Home.

 

If that is still the OS and you need to encrypt the laptop, you will need a Windows 10 Pro key to upgrade the OS.

 

You can upgrade the OS without affecting the installed software and data.

 

I suggest backing up any important data to and external USB flash drive or hard drive before upgrading the OS.



I am a volunteer forum member. If my suggestion helped you solve your issue, help others by marking that post as the accepted solution. Say thanks by clicking on the Yes button next to the "was this reply helpful?"
