    Bitlocker without TPM help


    Hi all,

    I've been having a bit of trouble trying to get Bitlocker working on my Dad's laptop. He recently bought a new laptop with Win 7 pro and I upgraded it to Win 10. It all went smoothly except now when I'm trying to get Bitlocker to encrypt his drive.

    It has an ssd but is partitioned already. As far as I can tell it doesn't have the TPM chip as it was a cheapy laptop but I have managed to enable it through GP but when I try to run it I get the message in the screenshot below and I can't seem to find much info on it. Some suggest it's to do with partitions and I also ran the BdeHdcfg command to no avail.

    Any help to get this encrypted for him would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Jim

    :)

    Bitlocker for windows 10

    Hi. I am trying to use Bitlocker for extra security as I have and continue to have problems with a hacker. The Bitlocker is turned off and it says that it can not run because there is lacking a compatible TPM (trusted platform module) it further says that
    I need Administrative permission on the start up to allow Bitlocker to run without the TPM. I am not exactly sure what it means and how to set it up or how to receive a TPM. Can someone who knows how Bitlocker operates with or without the TPM explain what
    steps I need to take to turn this operation on in the windows 10 program? I would appreciate the helpful advice in trying to keep some sense of privacy left.

    Bitlocker without TPM available with Windows 10 upgrade?

    All pc's at my small business are currently using Windows 8.1 Pro. We are using Bitlocker without TPM. Will Bitlocker w/o TPM be available with the Windows 10 upgrade?

    Bitlocker without TPM help

    I've managed to fix it myself but might be worth posting this somewhere for anyone else that gets the same problem.



    I basically had too many partitions on the one drive which it didn't like but wasn't very informative when telling me so so I had to guess and made a shot in the dark to delete a partition and after that it actually worked.



    Thanks anyway,



    Jamie
