Hi again. :) After much consideration and also based on some feedback from the StackExchange post I made, I am now once again considering doing full OS disk encryption using VeraCrypt. (This was my original plan, but after reading about issues with the Windows update, I became concerned, and created these posts). I can see that based on your recent development updates, this particular problem may be resolved now. https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/general/thread/1aa241dcfc/ I have a specific...

You've very welcome, and thank you! I'll go ahead and attempt to work on a CSS style improvement for the VeraCrypt website during this week. I'll show the owners/Mounir the proposal, then they can decide from there if you would like to keep the design or not (as you can't make much decision without anything to look at). :) I'll be off site for now, but have taken note, and will follow up with a design for the site during this week. Kind regards!

Thanks for the info. I can see how that could be a problem (getting third party programs to take actions before Windows boot). Thought I know some functions, like disk partitioning is available during pre boot, so maybe there's some possible way (but difficult). Actually just before my previous response, I made this post to address this question: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/202858/what-program-can-decrypt-specific-a-folder-files-during-windows-boot-loading-w I had asked for an alternative...

Thanks for your responses. What method are you using to transfer the data? Is the new disk SSD or mechanical hard drive? I've already went ahead and completed all data transfer to my new disks. I did it via an external hard drive Docking Station (connected to laptop via USB). I have 2 laptops, 2 new disks (1 for each) One disk, a HDD (mechanical), the other disk, a SSD. Thanks for the links, I had a read. As I had already went ahead and migrated the data 2 days ago, I'll have to work with the current...

Thanks for your responses. Therefore, you cannot just encrypt the C:\Users folder. Oh, I didn't know that. In this case, I'll be researching and enquiring about other options/programs that could possible accomplish the same/similar. Thanks for the reminder about backups. Yes, I'm definitely very precautions with avoiding data loss, and I already have multiple backups of all my files (backed up again before disk exchange). I have at least 2 external disk copies of my data (one is a WD Passport disk,...

Hello, At the moment I'm planning on Encrypting my entire 2nd Hard Drive (Laptop) (Disk 2), while not doing Full Disk Encryption on the main OS Drive (Disk 1). I do additional partitions on Disk 1 apart from C: which I will be encrypting. On "C:" partition, I would however like to specifically encrypt the entire "C:\Users" Folder/Directory. Can someone please tell me if I may run into issues by doing this? I'll be using VeraCrypt for the first time, so I'm not quite sure when I'll be given the option...

Hello, I'm interested in finally Encrypting my disk(s) with VeraCrypt (something I was considering for years). I will be getting new laptop disks very soon. (I did search around for answers on this topic, but didn't see it specifically mentioned.) What I would like to do at this time, after careful consideration, is to selectively encrypt all of my partitions, apart from the system partition (C:). This is on a Windows 10 system. My understanding is that things can get a bit technical when dealing...
