  • Restarting the computer for maintenance without a PIN or startup key
  • Updating firmware when a TPM is installed
  • Upgrading critical early boot components
  • Replacing the system board
  • Replacing the system board to replace or remove the TPM
  • Disabling or clearing the TPM
  • Moving a BitLocker-protected drive to another server
  • Adding an optional PCI device, such as a storage controller or network adapter
