| Oct 20, 2019 at 9:25 | comment | added | trejder | @schroeder From security specialist perspective you're correct that this might be considered a duplicate and the linked question does address some of my doubts. From the simple, regular user perspective this question should be reedited, again completely, into asking how can I enable TPM+PIN during preboot in my Windows 10? And a side question would be: Why it is not enabled by default since (my argumentation above) security seems to be decreased without it. | |

| Oct 20, 2019 at 9:12 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | It sounds like your real question is: "how/when/under what conditions does Bitlocker decrypt the drive?" The rest is based on your admittedly incomplete information. So, why not complete the info before going straight to "Bitlocker cannot be considered safe". Once you ask the clarifying question, it becomes a lot easier to research for yourself. Like, for instance, your scenario #2 assumes that it is configured for automatic unlock only. Have you read the FAQ? | |
