Thanks a lot for pointing this out Gary! Now I'm sure about going for AMD platform instead of Intel, even if it is going to be way more expensive with less theoretical performance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Reserved_Partition So this partition isnt encrypted when using EFI boot mode... and it can store data....? The UEFI specification does not allow hidden sectors on GPT-formatted disks. Microsoft reserves a chunk of disk space using this MSR partition type, to provide an alternative data storage space for such software components which previously may have used hidden sectors on MBR formatted disks.

I want to migrate onto new platform from over 10years old one. (amd phenom generation) It have regular legacy bios with some just some features like support for +3TB hard drives (still its old school bios) Now I want to get some last gen AM5 platform or Intel 13gen one My issue is according to news they has dropped support for legacy boot mode (?) So I wont be able to boot my old system at all on those? ...And so Im being left just with strict uefi boot mode When using uefi boot mode in veracrypt...
