Hi!
Is it possible to use VeraCrypt's system encryption on a new UEFI Fujitsu PCs running Windows 7 (64 bit)? Does the Secure Boot have to be off? I read that you should set a password so that Windows does not change the boot order in UEFI. What is to be considered?

Hi,

I'm using Fujitsu with UEFI.
Notes:

Probably Windows 7 requires CSM enabled in BIOS

Secure boot has to be off or in custom mode (see details how to load custom certificates)

To protect boot order DcsBML driver is loaded. (boot menu lock)

Hi Alex,
thanks for the Info.
Win 7 is running fine on my EFI board.
Where does the DcsBML driver live? Does the loading Veracrypt for me? Any manual actions needed?

  Hi, DcsBml place is ESP partition, directory EFI\VeraCrypt. it is executed by DcsBoot before authorization.
