    How can I enable Pre boot bitlocker pin on my Surface 6 computer


    Hi Everyone,

    I have enabled a Bitlocker policy to 'require additional authentication at startup' local policy on my Surface 6. However, the system does not prompt for any bitlocker PIN and simply boots into Windows.


    Could you please guide me on how I can enable my Surface to necessarily ask for a Bitlocker PIN when booting?


    Thank you.


    Shiv

    Bitlocker GPO on Tablet/Surface/Slate - Require additional authentication at startup - Enabled, but not offering option to set PIN

    The answer was remarkably simple. You need to enable Enable use of BitLocker Authentication requiring preboot keyboard input on slates.

    In short, some tablets don't provision a pre-boot on-screen keyboard, and thus would have no means to enter a PIN before boot.

    After enabling this setting in my GPO, the required "Enter a PIN" option appeared as expected when I enabled Bitlocker on the OS drive.
