Hi all.
I have just got a new computer and didn't know anything about TPM. Sadly my motherboard (ASUS Maximus Gene V) doesn't support TPM :-( but I know of the possibility to setup TPM on USB. I have done so but I have a strange result.
What I really want is to utilize my USB plus have a password/pin just after BIOS. When I sutdown my computer or restart, it actually do prompt me for a password, but if I go in to BIOS and exit again, it just boots up in to Windows! Either that is a fault in Windows or I have setup something.
So my question is - is it possible to setup/force a password/pin when my computer starts up!? And if so, how exactly to set it up?
I have looked a countless number of suggestions but still with no luck.

Switch motherboards to one that supports TPM?
Seriously, I think you're running up against the limitations of the USB
version of BitLocker. However, you might have a reasonable workaround -- use
the features of the BIOS to install a password. I'm pretty sure the Asus
BIOS supports a password requirement. You can add one to the BIOS as well.
