Enable BitLocker inside VM

I can't enable BitLocker inside Hyper-V VM (Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 TP5) hosted in Windows 10 build 14926, when I have done, appears the error: "The data is invalid".

 

I have the TPM chip ready to use in the VM configuration and the TPM Manager inside the VMs is ready.

 

I had a old Windows 2016 TP5 VM encrypted with BitLocker. I could start its, but when I decrypted this, I can't encrypt it again.

 

Does someone have the same problem?

      Thank you Jim. I will try to do this test with different laptop for if it is the TPM chip. Now, I use a Hewlett Packard 850 G1 EliteBook laptop with Windows 10 build 14931 160916-1700.Thank you Jim. I try to do this test with different laptop for if it the TPM chip.

      Thank you for your answer. But it doesn't think a problem with HP Drive Encryption. I use the TPM chip for encrypt my virtual machine over the Windows 10 Hyper-V.

      I have encrypted my Windows 10 buid 160916 (three or four versions after Anniversary Update) with Bitlocker and works fine. I think it's a hyper-v problem or pass-thru to the TPM chip. I don't know that.
