Intel PTT works on pretty much every processor/chipset since 4th Gen Core (Haswell) processors were introduced and it even supports BitLocker. Intel PTT is basically the firmware alternative to a the hardware based TPM. That is because you can use Intel Platform Trust Technology (Intel PTT) which was introduced back in 2013. There is an alternative though and you do not have to have a TPM to enjoy BitLocker in Windows. This optional hardware-based solution takes a bit of time and effort to get enabled, but it is preferred by many as it separates your security infrastructure from the host system, making it very difficult to spoof, tamper or defeat. Once enabled, any changes or attacks to low-level (root) system assets should be caught and not allowed to run. Each TPM chip has a unique and hidden RSA key burned into it during production making each one truly unique. This is because the TPM has a microcontroller on-board that generates and stores keys, passwords, and digital certificates. Once enabled your drive will be secure even if it is removed from the system. The good news is that for under $20 you can pick up a TPM 2.0 module for your existing desktop board that will allow you to take your system security to the next level by enabling whole-disk encryption!

Most laptops have a module already included, but it is an ‘extra’ option on most desktop boards. Most desktop motherboards have a pin header on them that allows users to buy a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for enhanced security.
