Hello,
Sorry but I could't found in the FAQ / Wiki and any other sourceforge
forum/reddit/yt/google etc the solution for this.
So, I have my laptop with 2 SSDs.
On the first SSD ( main SSD ) I've installed WIndows 11. I have only one
partition (C:) where it's installed the windows and I've encrypted the
whole system ( so the whole SSD ) with Veracrypt.
Everything worked fine.
Now, on my second SDD I've installed Windows 10.
Problem is, whenever I turn-on my laptop, it asks me for the VeraCrypt
password before even choosing which OS to use and boot.
So, my first question is:
1) Is there any boot manager or any work-around about this? Because I want
when I boot, to firstly choose the OS and then to put the password ( if
it's encrypted or not ).
Now, I have another problem. I've tried to encrypt my Windows 10 with
Veracrypt but for some reason, I tried to encrypt, it worked after restart
but it said that my C: is already encrypted ( but it shows the FIRST SSD
WITH WINDOWS 11 ) and I can't encrypt it with another password. I don't
know why it shows on my Windows 10 that I already have it encrypted while
showing me the Windows 11..
because Windows 11 is on my first SSD ( 1 TB ) and it shows 1TB but my
second SSD is 2TB and it simply doesn't show anymore. Thing is, it have
letter C on WIndows 10 and can't even change with diskpart the letter so
maybe Veracrypt can see another letter...
So my second question is:
2) How can I encrypt my second OS with Veracrypt so when I boot up my
Windows 10, it will ask for the password I choosed for this OS?
And my final question is:
3) If I encrypt the OS when I freshly installed it and I install programms
and log-in and store pics, etc, it will encrypt everything over and over or
at least be protected?
Or do I need to encrypt my OS after I installed my programms and backup my
family photos, etc??
Is there a difference to full-encrypt after a fresh Windows install vs
after I back-up everything up? Because I wanna know if I add more pics or
maybe install a new game, it will be encrypted?
Were you successfull?
