Is it possible to Enable unlocking the drive at startup with both PIN and USB?
Looks like if I want to use PIN then i cannot unlock my computer drive with USB and If I wanna use USB to unlock i cant make my laptop require PIN at the start up
I just want to know if its possible to unlock it both ways at the same time and if the answer is yes ! please tell me how
thanks

You can choose to unlock the drive at startup with a password, USB flash drive, PIN (with TPM).
Check it here

As soon as you enable the following GPO, you may use the combination of TPM+PIN+USB key, which means ALL are required if you set the protectors up that way OR either TPM+PIN OR USB startup key is required. Do you follow?
So it's your choice how to set it up: require all 3 or require one of PIN or USB.
To configure all 3, you will enable the GPO and then use the command line:
manage-bde -on c: -rp -tpsk
(tpsk means TPM and PIN and USB startup key)
To configure either TPM+PIN or USB, use
manage-bde -on c: -rp -tp -sk x:\
(x: being your connected USB drive)

Hi,
Yes, we can use the group policy Require additional authentication at startup as Ronald Schilf recommended, set as a combination of the PIN and the USB flash drive.

Gunner, if you follow my instructions, it works, I used it that way.
