it seems when I try to encrypt my hard drive on Windows 8.1, I get this error:

When I check the Group Policy settings on the server, that's what we have, although, it says it's only compatible with Windows 7. Is there a way to make it work with Windows 8.1?

  • [In addition to the answer below](http://serverfault.com/a/659284/118258), I'd advise looking into whether or not you can activate TPM on your hardware. I'd be shocked if you have hardware that can run Windows 8.1, but doesn't have a TPM. I just finished a Bitlocker rollout for my corporate overlords, and even our 8 year old laptops we still have kicking around had a compatible TPM module. – HopelessN00b Jan 14 '15 at 05:53
  • I got a clevo P170EM. In page 59 of the manual there is some taking about TPM. Although nothing in the bios. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/674857/Clevo-P170em.html?page=59 – Felix Lebel Jan 14 '15 at 11:07

Run Group Policy on a 2012 R2 that should fix the problem.

Says "At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7"

So should work on any higher.
