You must select the Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM check box. After this setting is applied to the local computer, the non-TPM settings appear in the BitLocker setup wizard.

A TPM is required to turn on BitLocker. If your computer has a TPM, then contact the computer manufacturer for BitLocker-compatible BIOS”, it means that either your computer doesn’t have a TPM or it’s not setup. First, check your computer manufacturer’s website for a BIOS update (that’s a good thing anyway). Then, restart your computer and enter the BIOS setup–TPMs are often disabled by default, and you might need to turn it on (I did for my Dell D820).
