TPM has been around for a while, win 7 could use it. If memory serves it was close in time to the UEFI Bios timeframe.
Edit, Bitlocker has been around since win7 if not earlier.
Which actually wasn't too bad if you had a clean install, most of the issues I ran into were preloaded garbage from the companies that tried to manage things Windows did fine on its own.
I'd started working at a nonprof about a year before 7 dropped, they had been using their computers right out of the box from Dell. When I started I created an OS image that was out on all new machines. People were much happier with their computers.
