    Yes you can for Windows Vista and later versions. See the first and third bullets in the Limitations section.

    However,

    https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Program%20Menu.html

    System -> Mount Without Pre-Boot Authentication
    Check this option, if you need to mount a partition that is within the key scope of system encryption without pre-boot authentication. For example, if you need to mount a partition located on the encrypted system drive of another operating system that is not running. This can be useful e.g. when you need to back up or repair an operating system encrypted by VeraCrypt (from within another operating system).
    
    Note 1: If you need to mount multiple partitions at once, click Auto-Mount Devices, then click Mount Options and enable the option Mount partition using system encryption without pre-boot authentication.
    
    Please note you cannot use this function to mount extended (logical) partitions that are located on an entirely encrypted system drive.
