Yes but the answer from the thread was wrong so that is why I asked again. GPT is only supported under Windows 8 so when will you release a version that supports GPT under Windows 7?

Yes Currently it's support only windows 8.

You can contact to symantec support for more info.

Ho about windows 8.1?

Can I update an encrypted windows 8 Laptop (with UEFI) to 8.1?

Do I have to unencrypt first?

Will a fresh install of Desktop Endpoint 10.3.1 work on windows 8.1?

Thank You

 Peter,

Officially Windows 8.1 is NOT supported

■ Compatibility with Microsoft Windows 8

This release supports the installation of Symantec Encryption Desktop on systems running Microsoft Windows 8 Pro and Microsoft Windows 8 Enterprise, both 32- and 64-bit versions

but this doesn't mean that you can try to install SED 10.3.1 on Windows 8.1. Most probably you will not have to unencrypt drive like it was with the previous version.
