CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 63

A systems administrator deploys BitLocker to all devices. However, one of the desktop PCs is not able to encrypt the boot drive. Which of the following should the administrator check?

Answer options

• A. TPM
• B. CPU
• C. RAM
• D. HDD

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as BitLocker requires a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to provide secure encryption keys. Without a functioning TPM, the encryption process cannot be completed. The other options, such as CPU, RAM, and HDD, are not directly related to the ability to encrypt the boot drive with BitLocker.
