What would you recommend for encrypting the partition where Windows is installed?

Question

System administration

All the best!
Once upon a time, TrueCrupt 7.1a was used to encrypt the entire Windows partition (with a fake OS).
But as you know, this project has long stopped. I found it on the net as an alternative / continuation of VeraCrypt .
Tell me, is it worthy of attention or do you recommend something else?
Requirements:
- Encryption of the entire partition where Windows 10
is installed - Fake OS (that is, if you enter the wrong password, a fake OS will be mounted)

Answer 1

veracrypt

Answer 2

It is necessary to understand from whom the author is defending himself. From a sucker - yes, it will work.
1) If specialists look at the disk, they will see a suspicious difference in the physical volume of the disk and the available space on the fake disk.
2) I don't imagine the algorithm yet. Symmetric cryptography does not store the key anywhere. Therefore, it is not yet possible for me to implement this choice of fake-non-fake. It's just that in the case of a crooked password, no OS will rise for you.
And storing a password for verification is contrary to what I wrote above.

Answer 3

1. veracrypt is actually the successor of truecrypt, it will even open volumes of truecrypt. But it's better to recreate.
2. "Fake OS (that is, if you enter the wrong password, a fake OS is mounted)"
there was no such thing in the trucrypt, and in general it does not seem to exist in cryptographic systems known to me.

Answer 4

I didn’t understand the password is entered in the BIOS, since “fake OS is being mounted” suggests that you have not reached the bootloader yet.
I think it's possible through if then ... but most likely it will be "Author 's BIOS / UIFI"
