Hi: If you don't have a TPM on your machine, your two options are a boottime pin (which I do not believe is accessible with Narrator) or a USB dongle with the key stored on it. I think this can be any USB stick but am not sure how this works. However, the short answer is if you want to use Bitlocker, having a TPM is highly desired, and these days I'd imagine most if not all hardware beyond the cheapest of consumer models has a TPM.

I'm not even sure if you can even enable BitLocker without TPM . -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Jason White via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2017 7:08 PM To: blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Cc: Jason White <jason@jasonjgw.net> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Setting up Bit Locker on Windows 10 Timothy Spaulding <spaulding@icanbrew.com> wrote:

This is assuming that you didn't enable the option to enter a pin a boot time to access the hard drive.
Just to satisfy my curiosity, does it need a Trusted Platform Module to store the encryption key if the user opts not to supply a pin at boot time? Not all machines are equipped with TPM hardware, though obviously it's worth including among the list of desirable features in making a hardware purchase. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.hodgsonfamily.org%2Flistinfo%2Fblind-sysadmins&data=02%7C01%7Cryshugar%40microsoft.com%7C8a0270fe5e6c4643679808d4a3c7e637%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636313526344833209&sdata=pA7MbpYWeHM0QmDiD%2FAsEzWdlRmeZMljZaTZkMiGIhk%3D&reserved=0 _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.hodgsonfamily.org%2Flistinfo%2Fblind-sysadmins&data=02%7C01%7Cryshugar%40microsoft.com%7C8a0270fe5e6c4643679808d4a3c7e637%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636313526344843216&sdata=BN5ekiWYS3CjqNInrVLAfphlxU0onqY2DhMI9x%2F6HzE%3D&reserved=0
