Trying to upgrade to Windows 10 or simply want to uninstall HP Drive Encryption but can’t?

Getting the error HP Client Security Manager 8.x is required?

During a recent Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrade I encountered this error and here is how I solved it.

Step 1:

First install the latest version of HP Client Security Manager

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp98501-99000/sp98508.exe

Step 2:

Next Install the latest version of HP Drive Encryption from here

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501-72000/sp71555.exe

Step 3:

Next Reboot

Step 4:

Now uninstall HP Drive Encryption (It will let you do it this time!) and reboot again

Job Done!
