TPM for Bitlocker on T6 Stick

I have the T6 PC Stick, and enabled fTPM in the BIOS. Secure Boot is on.
However Windows says a TPM can't be found. Is there a way of enabling the TPM?

Techtomic,
Though only the admin can say for sure, it's highly unlikely that the T6 has a TPM chip.

I believe it should have Intel Ptt which has an ftpm which should work. But enabling this in the bios didn't seem to do anything.

Techtnomic,
I'm not very familiar with this type of thing. I'll message the admin to be sure he sees this topic and can give a reply one way or the other.

Hello there. As Gabe said, T6 does not have a TPM chip. So this feature cannot be turned on.

Thanks for your response, I understand there is no TPM chip but hoped the TPP had a firmware based (soft) TPM (fTPM) which the BIOS lists and lets me enable. I assume it's just not going to work though so I'll sell the T6 and look elsewhere.
Thanks again

The system can enable BitLocker encryption. Perhaps you can be satisfied.

I tried but Bitlocker can't find the TPM. I didn't want to use a different unlock method as reboots would require a physical login.

You can use Bitlocker in the form of software. The PC does not have a TPM chip. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
