Question: if I have an bitlocker encrypted SSD in a modern computer with embedded TPM, can I move this SSD to an old computer with external TPM to sniff the cod this way? Be gentle. I am dumb. Thanks.

Not unless you entered your recovery code to unlock it on the old computer with the external tpm.

Nope. As soon as you move the disk to your second system/TPM, you lose any ability to decrypt it at all.

The key is inside the TPM.

“Sniff the cod” This is a typo right? I don’t know any better, but I had a good laugh.

The Key is stored on the Internal TPM. Only it can unlock the SSD.
