Hello All,

I have a question. The current status is:

Windows 10 was installed by default valuse

there are 4 partitions created by Windows

after long usage I've encrypted whole system partition

(I had problems after Windows Update but managed to solve them)

What would happen if:

Windows 10 would be installed on one partition (if there is such possiblity)

I would try to encrypt this whole system partition

Is it even possible to:

install Windows 10 on one partition (messing around with them at installation) as it was possible for Win 7 & 8?

encrypt this one partition in a secure manner if there is no EFI partition?

Thank you

Ok, just tested it in virtual machine:
no problems with one partition. However VC advises to encrypt whole drive.
The option for looking hidden sectors should be "no" because it had not went correctly (never ends).
Everything else was working fine.
