Trusted Platform (Security) Module

If your purchase option includes the TPM security chip, this allows you to create
and manage digital certificates for user and platform authentication. This type of se-
curity is usually administered within large enterprises and organizations, and there-
fore requires implementation by a system administrator before users can access
security features.

Individual users can use the TPM as an authentication with the fingerprint reader.

Make sure you have administrator’s rights to your computer, and have a Windows
password enabled for full security protection. In addition Make sure you prepare
a removable media (e.g. a USB flash drive) to store passwords etc. before begin-
ning the TPM initialization process
.

Before setting up the TPM functions you must initialize the security platform.
