    Setting up BitLocker via USB flash drive


    Hey,

    The help page for BitLocker mentions

    "A removable USB memory device, such as a USB flash drive. If your computer doesn’t have TPM version 1.2 or higher, BitLocker will store its key on the flash drive. This option is only available if your system administrator has set up your network to allow the use of a startup key instead of the TPM."

    I don't know how to set this up - anyone have in-depth guide for this?

    Thanks
