Enable BitLocker without a TPM 

tpm-not-found.png

Vista tells you it needs a TPM for BitLocker, but it lies. Follow these steps to enable BitLocker without a TPM:


1. Open the group policy editor by clicking Start, typing gpedit.msc, and then pressing Enter.

2. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\BitLocker Drive Encryption.

3. Double-click Control Panel Setup: Enable Advanced Startup Options.

4. Click Enable. Then, select the Allow BitLocker Without A Compatible TPM checkbox.

5. Click OK.

Now, you can enable BitLocker without a TPM.

Re: Enable BitLocker without a TPM 

Nice find.... Explained and Well mannered

Thanks

But Its possible then why we need TPM chip ??...here is the answer TPM chip is used to put the encryption to hardware level that provides more protection than a software only solution that is more easily compromised by Hacker. With TPM chip the decryption can be done only and only if the specfic TPM Chip supply associated decryption key, which it only possible if we provide the same password that was supplied when software of the TPM was initialized.

 

it's my Windows
