Error "This copy of windows is not installed on the Primary Boot drive" displayed when starting Full Disk Encryption

Problem:When you attempt Full Disk Encryption (FDE) on a client workstation, the following error appears and you are unable to start FDE. You may also see this error in the events of the Enterprise Server when you attempt a Full Disk Encryption (FDE) on a managed workstation. Cause:The System and Boot Partitions are located on separate disks, similar to the image below: This is possibly due to your workstation containing more than one disk where the operating system was re-installed separately or the disk hasn't been cleaned prior to re-installation, resulting in Windows installing the two components on separate disks.
Solution:You will need to ensure that the System and Boot Partitions are located on the same disk as shown in the image below: This may entail making a backup of your data and having to re-install the Operating System with only 1 disk present or after cleaning the disks using diskpart.
