I have W10 Pro, with an elderly I7 CPU, on an MSI H97M ECO motherboard. This has
a TPM header, but no TPM fitted.
It occurs to me belatedly that I should enable Bitlocker, but it complains about
lack of a TPM. So, should I buy a TPM?
I can bypass the TPM requirement by setting a security policy, but I am not sure
whether there's any point in running it at all then?
Also, I can get TPMs priced between £10 and £40. Is there any difference? I certainly wouldn't want to get locked out of my disc drive because I bought a crappy TPM.
Any thoughts, please?
