TPM BIOS settings (select products only)
TPM provides additional security for your computer. You can modify the TPM settings in Computer Setup 
(BIOS).
IMPORTANT: Before enabling Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functionality on this system, you must 
ensure that your intended use of TPM complies with relevant local laws, regulations and policies, and 
approvals or licenses must be obtained if applicable. For any compliance issues arising from your 
operation or usage of TPM that violates the previously mentioned requirement, you shall bear all the 
liabilities wholly and solely. HP will not be responsible for any related liabilities.
NOTE: If you change the TPM setting to Hidden, TPM is not visible in the operating system.
To access TPM settings in Computer Setup:

2. Select Security, select TPM Embedded Security, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Using HP Sure Start (select products only)
Select computer models are configured with HP Sure Start, a technology that monitors the computer's 
BIOS for attacks or corruption. If the BIOS becomes corrupted or is attacked, HP Sure Start 
automatically restores the BIOS to its previously safe state, without user intervention.
HP Sure Start is configured and already enabled so that most users can use the HP Sure Start default 
configuration. Advanced users can customize the default configuration.
