Sophos Encryption drive not Working on Windows 7 pro?

Question

Hello, 
 
 we deploy Sophos Endpoint via the Sophos Central, we try to activate the encryption data but it's seems that all Windows 7 can't be encrypted. We have the message "Not Supported" for theres. But, all Windows 10 is "Encrypted". 
 
 After many search on Google, it's seems not working because in Windows 7 pro but just on the Entreprise Edition, bitlocker isn't supported and work on WIndows 10 pro. 
 
 Right? Can you confirm that? Can i do something else to activate the encryption? The target computer have the TPM integrated. 
 
 THank you.

Hi Jullian, 
 Safeguard Encryption uses BitLocker to encrypt the machine. Unfortunately, BitLocker is unavailable for Windows 7 Professional and it cannot be downloaded and installed. It is available for Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 7 Enterprise editions. Hence am afraid that is the reason why the Windows 7 machines are not getting encrypted. 
 For more information regards with BitLocker for Windows 7, you may refer to the following link.
