System reserved partition

[Alex Hartmann]

Hello guys,
on my SSD is a system reserved partition.
I read i cant encrypt my whole disk, because this reserved partition owns the bootloader,
so ive to encrypt the windows partition only.
But when i reinstall windows 7 i can choose if i wanna delete this reserved partition and install all datas on 1 partition.
When i do it, can I encrypt my whole disk without any problems?

When I only encrypt my System Partition is it less secure then encrypting the whole drive?
Idk i think when forensic guys look at my SSD and I just encrypted the system partition they can go through an space or exploit or something and crack my encyption, or not?

Which data would be written on the system reserved partition when i only encrypt windows partition?

Hope u can help me, I really really want the most secure settings/way.

BitLocker and VeraCrypt do not encrypt the System Reserved partition since this partition contains the boot files.

If someone has physical access to your machine, no guarantees can be made about the security.
