Encrypting the Windows System Disk - good idea or not?
Hi folks!
Simple question really.
Currently re-building my desktop PC and aiming for
Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) dual-booting with Linux Mint on a 240GB SSD.
A separate 5TB hard disk for data storage.
Not sure about how to set this up - partitioned as two separate drives one for Windows documents (and encrypted) and one for Linux documents (not sure whether to encrypt this or not). Any advice/suggestions welcome on this.
A third laptop hard disk for data security (copying any docs/files etc from the Windows data drive only).
Question is this.
Should the bootable system disk containing Windows 10 Pro be encrypted or not? If yes - can you suggest a suitable (& free) encryption solution.
Should the Linux partition also be encrypted - is it necessary and/or will it cause any conflict being dual-booted with Windows?
Thanks,
Art
