Bitlocker with TPM
Hi , I,m not sure if this is the right place to post this .
Anyway , My query is about encryption on win10 pro .
Previously I had a laptop with no TPM so I had to us the group policy editor to allow encryption to work , fine ,all was working and I had to type a password to unlock bilocker when my laptop came out of hibernation or rebooted .
I now have a laptop with a TPM which seems much easier and apparently more secure but here,s what,s bothering me : I do not need to type a password on start up or coming out of hibernation to unlock the drive so just say someone stole my laptop . they would be able to get into the OS and files even though its encrypted . I do have a PIN to sign in to windows but just say I only wanted to use a local account with no PIN or password how useful is having my laptop encrypted .
What then is the main reason for using encryption ?
Sorry if I've confused anyone or my explanation isn't so clear .
