Removing BitLocker protection and decrypting the volume
â–¶
Before removing the TPM board, it is necessary to remove BitLocker
protection from the computer and to decrypt the volume. Ask the system
administrator to turn off BitLocker protection using the BitLocker setup
wizard available either from the Control Panel or Windows Explorer:
â–¶
Open Bitlocker Drive Encryption by clicking the Start button, clicking
Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking Bitlocker Drive

administrator password or confirmation, type the password or
provide confirmation.

and then click Decrypt the volume.
Decrypting the volume may be time-consuming. By decrypting the
volume, all of the information stored on that computer is decrypted.
