Laptop BitLocker not compatible with hardware

4.5

BitLocker says your hardware doesn't meet the security requirements.

Symptoms
  • "TPM not found"
  • "Hardware not supported"
  • Error code
Possible Causes
  • No TPM
  • Legacy BIOS
  • Unsupported CPU

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Enable TPM/Secure Boot

Check BIOS for these settings.

2

Use Software Encryption

Enable BitLocker without TPM via Group Policy (requires a USB key to boot).

3

Update BIOS

Ensure the latest security features are unlocked.

When to See a Technician

You can bypass the TPM requirement using Group Policy, but you'll need to plug in a USB key every time you start the laptop.
