anyway even if it was enable with just the key they shouldn't be able to do anything with it right?

Not really no.

like I said the settings for tpm have a clear option (or they should)

Your motherboard doesn’t even store the windows 10 code. All it stores is the BIOS.

So don’t worry about your information when selling your mobo unless you’re also selling the storage medium(SSD or Hard drive) with it.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

This isn’t 100% true, it might contain keys in the tpm depending.

I believe those can be cleared in the bios

I could use some help with this!
