Looks like the MSI page is currently 404'ing

Good. Surprised people are not using the TPM already. All my PCs are encrypted, as is my server (the non media storage bits at least).
Lots of people have work data on their PC. If it gets stolen, the people have to be notified if it wasn't encrypted, but there is no need to if it was (eg wife is a doctor and has private patient info on her xps).
Here's a crazy ideia, next bios update enables the TPM feature in all supported boards
MSI already resets my settings anyway, so how about making at least 1 usefull change at least? or maybe, here's another crazy ideia, save the settings in a different memory region and don't overwrite that part during update!
I'm a massive fan of the mandated tpm/encryption not least as it makes laptops bricks for most theives.
But... There's a world of hurt coming for some people/board makers.
The TPM/BIOS contain the keys for booting Windows. Losing settings (TPM on/secure boot enabled) means Windows is bricked unless you have the recovery key to hand (one advantage of forcing a Microsoft account on people). I'm guessing Microsoft will enable a pre-Windows call to the mothership, but that will bring security gaps.
Intel had massive problems managing this on the NUCs for years (they need to suspend bootlocker for the next boot after a BIOS update or you don't get into Windows without the key).
