Where can I find the firmware TPM Key (lemmy.world)

So I'm getting round to preparing my PC for Windows 11, and I just have to activate TPM 2.0. I have found it in UEFI BIOS and went to activate it and this warning came up. Where can I find/set the firmware TPM key.

I'd rather know this before activating TPM, than get caught with my pants down at a later date.

Ok thanks, so nothing for me to securely store. I'll proceed with the activation then.

If it's any consolation, I have an AMD processor with an fTPM (their version of TPM on the CPU), and I didn't have any issues upgrading to Win 11 Pro. BitLocker is optional, so if you don't plan to encrypt your drive, I wouldn't worry about it.

Most likely, they're just covering their asses in the event somebody upgrades their hardware and gets locked out of their boot drive.

Thanks, thought it may just be a arse covering clause

Can confirm, if you enable bit locker, it'll force you into saving the recovery key!
