   On my non-Win-11-eligible older desktop, TPM isn't an option, so BitLocker   
   can work on my non-TPM desktop but BitLocker has nowhere secure to store   
   the key for auto-unlock. So Bitlocker will only work with a manual   
   configuration and with weaker protection than on a TPM-equipped machine.   
      
   VeraCrypt, by contrast, works normally with full strength on any hardware
