How do you enable hardware bitlocker?

beneath I'm yet to get anything insightful from Microsoft Support. After spending more time debugging this on my own, I have come up with a solution which is working for me right now.

Using a windows 2 go setup, I was able try out different options and what I found works is disabling the "Block SID Authentication" BIOS option before each boot. 

Maybe it's an overkill but I didn't want to spend more time trying to find out the exact right time to do it so I simply entered the BIOS on each reboot and disabled the "Block SID Authentication". 

Same steps as above, however, I added a GPEdit, enable hardware encryption and disabled software fallback, step right after the reg add HKEY step. 

I was able to enable hardware based encryption for bitlocker. I didn't do any further checks to see if just setting up GPO for hardware encryption would cause Device Encryption to use hardware encryption. 

At this point, I have hardware bitlocker working and will call it a day. Maybe someone else wants to spend some more time seeing what other permutations will work.
