So I don't fully understand this whole TPM thing, What I do know if I can't move an image to my evo drive and expect it to work using the drives own encryption, the only way it worked was to install windows 8 from fresh and them activate bitlocker, it rebooted and that was it, encrypted, not 1-100% it was done, e-drive style.
The trouble is dell are pissing me off, I am on system number 2 for my XPS 9530 and Dell told me they won't build me a 3rd one, they want to refund me and make me order another as too much time has passed ( 3 months now) trying to resolve the issues. Fair enough, I will get a refund, take my 1tb evo and shove it in a new machine and hope it's 3rd time lucky. Question is how do I get round bitlocker so I can simply stick the drive in and get bitlocker to encrypt without doing it on the software level, does anyone know if I have to do anything 1st apart from the obvious thing of decrypting 1st as that only takes a second with it being on the hardware level?
It's a great setup, AES hardware based bitlocker.
I just want to avoid reinstalling
