Hi,
Does Veracrypt encrypt hidden System Reserved Partition on Win10 if I encrypt system disk? Or is there any way how to encrypt it? Thanks a lot.

HI,
on UEFI system firmware (uefi scripts) must find EFI partition and read Fat32 FS to start efi scripts
needed. this firmware does not know anything about encrypting
so EFI partition can't be encrypted.

EFI partition does not contain any secret or personal data , so leave it unencrypted is not a problem
Best regards

👍
