Veracrypt Official Site
If you have any private information at all on your computer system, you should encrypt it. With a tool like VeraCrypt, you can easily encrypt partitions or create files that may be mounted as a drive in Windows.

Getting started with VeraCrypt is easy and thanks to its wizard-type interfaces, creating encrypted volumes or partitions is easy.
The VeraCrypt Volume Creation Wizard window should appear. In this step you need to choose where you wish the VeraCrypt volume to be created. A VeraCrypt volume can reside in a file, which is also called container, in a partition or drive. In this tutorial, we will choose the first option and create a VeraCrypt volume within a file. VeraCrypt provides an easy way to use this tool on a VeraCrypt volume: First, make a backup copy of the VeraCrypt volume (because the ' chkdsk ' tool might damage the filesystem even more) and then mount it. Right-click the mounted volume in the main VeraCrypt window (in the drive list) and from the context menu select ' Repair Filesystem '. VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files.

The program offers a list of different encryption methods, including AES, Serpent, Twofish, Camellia and others. In the case of creating a volume on your existing hard drive, you may select the desired drive size, volume password and volume format to get started. Once completed, use the main interface of VeraCrypt to mount the encrypted file container volume as a drive in Windows.
If you're looking at encrypting an entire hard drive or existing partition, you can do that too by selecting a system partition in the wizard.
All in all, VeraCrypt is an excellent improvement on TrueCrypt and is easy to handle as well as an extremely secure way to save and encrypt your data; Just make sure you're using a secure password.
