B and D BitLocker disk encryption normally requires a TPM on Windows. Microsoft’s EFS encryption can never use a TPM. The new “device encryption” feature on Windows 10 and 8.1 also requires a modern TPM, which is why it’s only enabled on new hardware. But what is a TPM? TPM stands for “Trusted Platform Module”. It’s a chip on your computer’s motherboard that helps enable tamper-resistant full-disk encryption without requiring extremely long passphrases.

From Darril Gibson's book: "If the system includes a TPM, you use an application within the operating system to enable it. For example, many Microsoft systems include BitLocker, which you can enable for systems that include the TPM."

The TPM answer is a little confusing. Once you find out if your system can support it, then I think the answer should state that you INSTALL TPM, instead of simply enable it. If you have a system with a TPM chip already provided, I would assume that indicates it's already supported by the hardware

You don’t install TPM manually. It comes with the machine

The reason EFS is not the answer is because EFS encrypts files on a "per-user basis."
