Bitlocker activation wizard asking for USB flash drive to save startup key

A

I run WINDOWS 10 PRO on a new PC with a TPM chip. I'm attempting Bitlocker first activation. I don't seem to be able to edit group policies in such a way as to set a PIN as an authentication method. The only way I can turn on bitlocker is to set all the 4 additional authentication options to "allow" (the "without TPM" tickbox is unchecked as I want to use TPM), any other configuration would cause the wizard to return an error message about wrong startup settings, or conflicting settings whatsoever. Now then, if I set the 4 options to allow the wizard works and a "save your startup key" message appears and requires that a removable USB flash drive be inserted and then selected. I suspect this procedure won't let me choose a PIN authentication method; based on my group policy settings I should get more options from the wizard, hence I assume something is wrong.

Many thanks for your help,

Achille
