Can't turn on BitLocker

Question

Monday, September 24, 2018 2:41 PM

I get a message: This device can't use the TPM. Your administrator must set the "allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM" option in the Required additional authentication at startup policy for OS volumes.

This does not help me, as I am not very literate in techy stuff.

Hi,
Just as Ronald Schilf said, you can set the Group Policy to turn on BitLocker without TPM.
More information, you can follow this blog:
