Can I still use bitlocker without TPM chip?

[GT]

Can use bitlocker without TPM chip? how exactly? Will bitlocker protect my
files from being accessed online or is it only for physically accessing
harddrive protection? In Windows Update There's also available download
Bitlocker and EFS enchancements. Just wondering what those extra does

Yes you can use bitlocker without a tpm. You can do an internet search to
find out how to do it.
Basically you have to go into gpedit.msc and make some changes. In
gpedit.msc go to Local Computer Policy, Administrastive Templates, Windows
Components, BitLocker Drive Encryption.
And on the right side "Control Panel Setup: Enable advanced startup options"

If you can not boot from a usb flash device, you will have to enter 8 sets
of 6 numbers, for a total of 48 numbers, every time you boot up or come out
of hibernation.
