If something goes wrong with Windows, boot in recovery shell and use command line manage-bde to recover partition.If you want to work with Full Disk Encryption (FDE), plus pre-boot authentication and you don’t want to use Windows BitLocker for some reason, it is likely you will end up with VeraCrypt. Keep your bitlocker recover key close to you. Haven't succeeded in making it work yet but i was stucked with bitlocker preboot authentification on the next windows boot (too many bad passwords. I tried dislocker to mount bitlocker partition on Linux. ) for the pin setting.Īfter the disk encryption, reboot and check everything is ok. It allows you to have better protection (letters, special character. I recommend you to "Allow enhanced pins for statup" on policy group.

Windows installer (W10) created the 3 others partitions (one is hidden on disk manager but visible under Linux with gparted). On my SP3 256 GB SSD, i made a 90 GB partition. Install Windows with advanced partitionning. Here are the steps to follow with empty disk 👍 I don't think missing a TPM is a problem to make it work.
