Hi... So I have 2 custom build PC. One is Asus board and the MSI board. I just done recently a fresh clean installation on both with the same usb windows 11. My MSI board shows encryption under the Privacy & Security but my Asus board doesn't have it, why is that? Thanks

Run msinfo32.exe and in the System Summary, look for Device Encryption Support.
It will show if your system meets prerequisites or reasons for failed automatic device encryption.

Did you install Home on one device and Pro on the other? If one installs Home and uses a MS account, device encryption is automatically enabled on all drives. Whereas Pro features full bitlocker and it is left up to the user to choose which, if any, drives he wants to encrypt with bitlocker.

Nope, both system have pro version. Also, I have other drives installed on each PCs and these drives are encrypted with Bit Locker. I just notice when I installed windows on my MSI board and afterwards I did a clone image with Macrium Reflect is when I also this encryption but it wasn't the case with Asus board. I used the exact usb drive and both times I selected pro version. It probably has to do with my board, can't see anything else as why..... Oh yeah, each PC I didn't do the MS account, I did the bypass way for both
