    cannot turn on bitlocker - windows 7 with tpm and NTFS - Optiplex 7010


    My specs are:
    Dell Optiplex 7010
    win 7 ultimate
    C and D drive both of them are NTFS
    TPM enabled
    My problem is: when I am trying to activate bitlocker on drive C, I am getting error message that driver should be NTFS .(see error message screenshot)
    Also the option to activate Bitlocker to go is not working/available.
    Any ideas how fix this?

Hi everyone: I was curious if anyone else experienced this issue? I have a Dell OptiPlex 7010 desktop/mini tower that I bought off the official Dell site. I configured that mini tower to have an SSD drive as the main drive, which I like very much, except one very annoying issue. Sometimes out of...
