Note

Older builds of Windows 10 installed on endpoints where UEFI is enabled may encounter issues if secure boot is turned on. To prevent this issue, install all service packs, hotfixes and security patches for Windows 10 before proceeding with the installation.
The Full Disk Encryption and File Encryption agents do not support Windows 11 (and later versions). For more information, see https://success.trendmicro.com/solution/000289576.

Firmware interface

BIOS: all supported operating systems
UEFI: all supported operating systems

Other software

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1(Windows 7 and later operating systems)

Note

Full Disk Encryption is not compatible with other versions of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Hard disk

Full Disk Encryption uses software-based encryption for all standard drives (drives without self-encryption).

Full Disk Encryption uses hardware-based encryption for the following self-encrypting drives (SEDs):

Seagate OPAL and OPAL 2 drives
SanDisk self-encrypting (OPAL2) solid-state drives
Toshiba self-encrypting (OPAL2) solid-state drives (SATA and NVMe)
Intel self-encrypting (OPAL2) solid-state drives (SATA and NVMe)

Full Disk Encryption has the following limitations:

Full Disk Encryption does not support RAID and SCSI drives.
Full Disk Encryption does not support eDrive drives for Windows 8 or later environments.

Hard disk controllers

Software encryption: ATA, AHCI, or IRRT hard disk controller
Hardware encryption: AHCI hard disk controller
