If the TPM is enabled, it will take longer before the VAIO logo appears due to security checks at computer startup.

You can also disable the TPM and clear the TPM configuration in the BIOS setup screen. Note that you will not be able to access any TPM-protected
data if you clear the TPM ownership. Before clearing the TPM configuration, be sure to make backup copies of the TPM-protected data.
