    I have just removed Vista Business from my lenovo R61 laptop,
    i'm trying to use the password manager software but i could not because it asked me to remove the trusted platform (TPM) module from the bios , but i could not find any thing in the bios on this name...
    any one has an idea how to remove this (TPM) ??? :confused:





    Thanks in advance

    You can disable TPM in bios setup. Have you tried this?

    I think it asked you to CLEAR the TPM, rather than remove it. The TPM is a soldered chip so you can't exactly remove it (at least not without some serious effort).

    There should be an option in the BIOS (forget where exactly) to disable and/or clear the TPM (or possibly CSS).

    To enter BIOS configuration, press F12 before boot and select Setup from the menu.
