Do I need a Physical Machine with a TPM chip to test BitLocker?

Not if your Hyper-V machine is running Windows 10/ Server 2016. If your physical machine is running either of these operating systems, all you need to do is to create a new Generation 2 virtual machine that is UEFI based.

Then under the settings for the VM, you will now see the Security tab from which you can select the Enable Trusted Platform Module checkbox which will provide your VM with a TPM.

Why can’t I Confirm a new Password for the Administrator when installing Windows Server 2016?

I am installing a brand new server running Windows Server 2016. I have got as far as the C:\Windows\system32\LogonUI.exe screen which is prompting me for the Administrator user:

The user’s password must be changed before signing in.

I’ve clicked OK and I’m now being prompted:

Enter new credentials for Administrator or hit ESC to cancel

I’ve entered a new password at the New Password prompt but I am unable to move to the Confirm password prompt to confirm the password. I have tried ENTER but the cursor just won’t move.

Have I not entered a password that is long enough or complex enough?
