Windows 10: How to enable a missing tpm, windows 10, Dell

Hi! I have a problem where everytime I boot up my Dell laptop it says tpm device not detected. I have looked in bios under security and it's not there. I've looked in device manager and there is no security device options. I've looked in local management and it says compatible TPM cannot be found. I've also tried downloading firmware for 1.2 and for 2.0 but I just get an error message. Bitlocker appears to already be disabled. I'm at a loss

:)

 

Windows 10 devices now requires hardware encryption/TPM

Stolen from Sweclockers, but it's in swedish.

So from now on devices (OEM built) needs a TPM module. Relevant bit:

Pretty interesting, but there's tons of questions I guess. I don't actually now anything about how TPM works, just that it's hardware, meaning the key is stored in a physical chip and that the decryption has to run through this chip. But I have no idea how let's say biometrics is tied to this. Or what the implications will be, or what exactly is encrypted. The entire storage or just the log in details as such?

 

Need help on whether to clear TPM on not

It's clear as mud. As far as I can tell, it's specific to Windows, not necessarily activated programs like MacAfee, games, etc etc etc. MS Office, I have no idea.

Here's a lengthy doc on it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...initialize-and-configure-ownership-of-the-tpm
