and install the following packages:

TPM feature through your system’s BIOS.

1 Power on your system while holding down the
Esc key.
2 Press
F1 when directed.
3 Press the
PgDn key.
4 Press the down arrow key until TPM is highlighted, then press
the space bar to change the TPM status to Enabled.
5 Press

Fingerprint Authentication Utility
(Available on certain models)
The fingerprint authentication utility (available on certain models)
can be used to replace the keyboard-based user/BIOS password
authentication system when booting up.
The fingerprint authentication utility can also be used for user
logon. The user’s fingerprint is read; if the system recognizes the
fingerprint, the user is automatically logged on.
