Hello,
I want to install windows system in the virtual machine and activate bitlocker encryption.
If my computer is stolen, can the thief access the files in my windows VM?
I know the physical TPM module is safe enough, but is the virtual TPM module in proxmox VE safe enough?

Hello,

if you enable a TPM, it will be emulated by software. The state of the TPM will be stored on the storage that you can configure in 'TPM storage'. Since there is no backing hardware TPM that actually stores the keys, this will not be secure for the scenario that you have described.
