Best Answer

A trusted platform module (TPM) is a chip that handles FDE (full-disk encryption) and other encryption-based security on a computer. It is primarily used in operating systems such as Windows 7 and 8 with the advent of BitLocker, which if enabled will disallow you from using the hard disk in another computer.
