Hi, maybe I'm missing something here, but am I right in saying that if you have W8 Pro tablet without an external or attached keyboard, you cannot setup BitLocker with a pre-boot PIN, as there is no way of entering it in?
Thanks.

Hi,
The Options for touch-only devices are: TPM-only, startup key.
The only other way is to attach a keyboard at boot to use TPM+PIN.
A startup PIN on the tablet will only work if a USB keyboard is connected, as the PIN prompt occurs in a pre-OS mode and theres no access to the on-screen keyboard.
