I have a collection of HP 245 G8 laptops. I have added them to Autopilot and am trying to deploy Windows 11. I have confirmed the hardware meets Windows 11 requirements, but every time they get to the Setting up for work or school stage of OOBE they fail with the error Securing your hardware (0x800705b4). I've tried updating the BIOS and disabling secure boot as found in suggestions online but neither have resolved the issue.
How can I get past this and complete the install and enrollment?

@Trevor Fidler Thanks for posting in our Q&A.
For this issue, we appreciate your help to collect some information:
1.Which is mode of your autopilot enrollment? User-driven mode or Self-deploying mode?
2.This error is often related to TPM (Trusted Platform Module) issues. If a self-deploying mode deployment is attempted on a device that doesn't have support for TPM 2.0, the process fails when verifying the device with an 0x800705B4 timeout error.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
They are being deployed in self-deploying mode. HP tell me they are compatible with Windows 11 so I assume they have TPM 2.0. If I try a user-driven deployment will that work? I've got about 50 of these devices and don't really want to have to replace them or pay for extended support when all of the indicators are that they should support Windows 11.
Thanks
@Trevor Fidler Off course, you can use User-driven mode instead.
Or it is needed to do log analysis to find the root cause of this error. Q&A is not a good channel for such log analysis issue. So, it is suggested to create an online support ticket to get more help. Here is the support link:

Thanks for your understanding.
@Xenia-MSFT Thank you, a user-driven deployment worked, but unfortunately as a school I ideally need to have them build in self-deployment mode as shared devices. Is there a way to convert it now that they are on Windows 11?
