    Standard hardware security not supported


    Win 10 Pro x64 v1909

    This is what I have noticed:

    Boot drive formatted NTFS / GDP
    Bios setting: Discrete TPM selected, not firmware TPM
    Bitlocker can't use TPM

    What might be the problem?

    Hello Riley,

    In addition, what TPM version do you have?

    You can find out from the tutorial dalchina posted above.

    Thanks to you both for the answers. It turns out I misunderstood what this was all about. I thought this for added safety from internet viruses, malware, etc.
    I don't have a TMP chip and it seems I do not need one. I am the only one with access to my pc.
