Windows 10
Trusted Platform Module
(Optional)
The TPM security chip allows you to create and manage digital certificates for user and platform authentica-
tion. This type of security is usually administered within large enterprises and organizations, and therefore re-
quires implementation by a system administrator before users can access security features.
Make sure you have administrator’s rights to your computer, and have a Windows password enabled for full se-
curity protection. In addition Make sure you prepare a removable media (e.g. a USB flash drive) to store
passwords etc. before beginning the TPM initialization process.
Before setting up the TPM functions you must enable and initialize the security platform (see “Enabling & Ac-
tivating TPM” on page 6 - 27).

Control Panel
.
2.
Click
BitLocker Drive Encryption (System and Security).

administered within large enterprises and organizations, your system administrator will need to assist you in

restart of the computer and confirmation of the setting changes after restart by pressing the appropriate F key).
