I use my Latitude's TPM. I've never been prompted before to enter the recovery key, so I always suggest that encryption be something that every user should be doing; since Bitlocker is so easy to implement. People think of it too much in terms of job compliance rather than in terms of their own good. But on another similar note, why doesn't every edition of Windows 10 have Bitlocker built in? Why only for the pro users? From a service desk rep's prospective, would save tons of calls. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Friday, May 26, 2017 1:41 AM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: Ryan Shugart <ryshugar@microsoft.com> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Setting up Bit Locker on Windows 10 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.

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 _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
