Because of the TPM right? If you use bitlocker without a TPM you could boot to a live Linux USB and decrypt the bitlocker drive with dislocker.

  USB boot most probably disabled in bios

    Ok, then physically remove the drive and plug it into a Linux computer.

      Right, hence why nobody uses bitlocker without a TPM ;)

        My personal desktop uses bitlocker without a TPM.
      • ams6110 8y ago
        I have, because the laptop I was using didn't have a TPM. Also (possibly wrongly), I trust my ability to remember a good passphrase more than I trust the TPM to not have bugs.

  Yeah, it appears the correct answer is TPM. Thanks.

  If you use Bitlocker, there's a high probability that the crypto is nonexistent or so flawed that it can be trivially be cracked: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/flaws-in-popular-ssd-drives-bypass-hardware-disk-encryption/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/flaws-in-popu...
