I have the following request: I wanted to encrypt Windows 11, system partition, with VeraCrypt. Currently, Windows 11 is unencrypted and Linux Mint 22.2 (LUKS, fully encrypted), both operating systems are installed on different hard drives.
I now have the following problem. How should I proceed to achieve problem-free post-encryption?
Unfortunately, according to my research, there are only tutorials for encrypting single boot of the respective operating system. Unfortunately, I can't find anything for handling the boot loader either.
Can anyone give me some input? It would be very helpful.
Dual boot
