Warning
To avoid a complete loss of data, the drive must be in a decrypted state before using the utility. The
utility has a built-in check for Microsoft BitLocker, HP Drive Encryption, and WinMagic SecureDoc
solutions only. If BitLocker or HP Drive Encryption or SecureDoc is used, the utility will exit after advising
that the disk must be decrypted first. The utility does not detect other disk encryption solutions.
Instructions
• Run softpaq to extract files. By default it will extract the files in C:\SWSETUP\SP81900 folder.
• Copy the desired TPM FW BIN file and the appropriate HP TPM Configuration Utility (either 32-bit or
64-bit) to a temporary folder. Only one TPM FW BIN file is allowed in the temporary folder.
• Do not rename the TPM FW BIN file.
• Open CMD Prompt in Administrator mode and run TPM.MSC to determine the TPM Manufacturer
Information.
o Manufacturer Name: IFX
o For TPM 1.2, Manufacturer Version: Either 6.40 or 6.41
o For TPM 2.0, Manufacturer Version: Either 7.40 or 7.41 or 7.60 or 7.61
o Specification version: Either 1.2 or 2.0
• The utility supports
o Graphical User Interface (GUI) for step-by-step execution
o Command line mode (including silent execution)
• Run MSINFO32 to determine 32-bit or 64-bit OS. Examine System Type (will show either “x64-based
PC” or “32-based PC”).
• Run the appropriate utility (TPMConfig.exe for 32-bit OS or TPMConfig64.exe for 64-bit OS) as an
Administrator from the folder where the utility and TPM FW BIN file are located.
Additional Notes
• On Windows 7, TPM 1.2 must be activated in BIOS (Check TPM state in BIOS).
• On Windows 8.x or Windows 10, the OS will automatically take ownership of TPM.
• Windows 8.x and Windows 10 require GPT partition style when using TPM 2.0. The BIOS setting for
boot mode should be set to native UEFI (recommended) or UEFI with CSM.
• Windows 7-64, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10 will work with MBR or GPT partition style when using
TPM 1.2.
The following Command Line options (aka “switches”) are supported with HP TPM Configuration Utility:
