Hello I want to encrypt my entire pc, when I go to encrypt my drive the hidden and encrypt whole drive is greyed out. So I disabled Secure Boot (as instructed) I went to System info and made sure it returned Secure Boot State: Off then tried to delete veracrypt and reldownload it. No luck. I still cant encrypt my whole drive. My BIOS Mode IS UEFI if thats important Im pretty frustrated because I cant find the solution anywhere online

Edit: Still cant do it, I am on Windows 10 and the C drive has the Boot, its also SSD and I cant encrpyt because it has the Boot on it, idk how to move it to a new partition

Hello;
Your PC has certainly an UEFi bios with MSR and Recovery Partitions, these ones can't be encrypted by microsoft design
but don't worry they have the same content on every windows PC with no sensitive data
best regards
