Razer Blade 15 2019 Windows Device Encryption

I purchased a new Razer Blade 15 2019 and would like to encrypt my hard drive for added security. I know that Windows 10 Home (what comes with the product) does not support Bitlocker, but apparently it does support something called Device Encryption. The requirement is that the product have TPM 2.0, which it does as listed in tpm.msc. However, the problem I'm having right now is that under System Information, the following error message is displayed for "Device Encryption Support":


Reasons for failed automatic device encryption: Hardware Security Test Interface failed and device is not InstantGo, Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s) detected


Does anyone have any idea how to fix this error or if it is even fixable? I'm trying to avoid having to pay the $99 upgrade to Windows 10 Pro if possible. Appreciate any help!

Same here, I would love some information on this.
Pretty sure you need Windows 10 Pro in order to encrypt your drive. This page might help: https://decentsecurity.com/#/securing-your-computer/
