    Need to verify that the XPS 15 has TPM and is bitlocker capable with Win10 Pro (use Airwatch) Scouring Dell's product page and spec manual there is no mention of TPM anywhere.

    Be careful, I've seen posts of other people showing pictures of BIOS that was missing the tpm options. Search the forum, but it does look like in some regions/configs the tpm is missing. Mine is base i5 bought in US and it does have tpm.

    No TPM option in my BIOS. Bought it in Germany. But I am wondering if that really matters?

    I think they all have TPM but it can be disabled via a ME software flash, meaning it should be possible to enable a missing TPM via BIOS mods.

    If they come with win 10 Pro I expect they have TPM enabled but your local Dell rep should be able to tell you.

    Yeah, the way the 9343 xps 13" with only certain cpu's made me feel burnt. Not happy with the inconsistent responses.

    OK, if you want to see TPM then go to the Business site http://www.dell.com/uk/business/p/xps-15-9550-laptop/pd
    Configure your win10 pro laptop & click continue. On the summary screen it states TPM included under advanced software support.

    I have seen from memory one post with someone saying they couldn't get TPM visible & had a crappy support rep tell them it wasn't included on 9550 laptops, obviously the support reps full of sh!t as 99% of us on here have TPM so it is either a county restriction, faulty laptop or configuration (done by dell not the person who posted TPM missing)
    So pop onto the link I posted and configure a spec then read the summery, if it doesn't show TPM it may be a country restriction but I don't know that.
