Hi sunfloweryellow,
I don't have access to a Professional installation at the moment, and Microsoft have a habit of changing Group Policies from time to time, however in theory it is possible to run Bitlocker without TMP by doing the following:
From this expanded list click to select Operating System Devices.

- Log on to Desktop using an account belonging to the Administrative Group
- Press Windows key and R key together to open run dialog
- In the Run dialog type gpedit.msc then click OK
- In the Local Group Policy Editor that opens, on the left pane click to expand to this location:
Computer Configuration
> Administrative Templates
> Windows Components
> Bit Locker Drive Encryption
From this expanded list click to select Operating System Devices.
- Now on the right pane double-click “Require additional authentication” at startup.
- In the box that opens select Enabled radio button and ensure that under Options section the Allow Bit Locker without a compatible TPM checkbox is checked.
- Click OK and close Local Group Policy Editor
