How to enable BitLocker encryption on computers that do not support the TPM chip
BitLocker is a feature built into Windows that helps us encrypt and protect data against unauthorized access or theft of data on our computer. However, to use this feature, your computer must be integrated with a security chip called Trusted Platform Module (TPM), usually this chip is only integrated on newer laptops or motherboards. Computers that do not support TPM when enabling BitLocker will have an error message. But do not worry, if your computer does not support TPM we can still activate BitLocker in the system, of course the security will not be as high as the computers that support TPM. Please follow along the following tutorial of TipsMake.com to know how to do it.
