Is there a way to install an encrypted virtual drive on my Windows 10 HOME, so only when I enter password can all the files in the virtual drive be read and accessible by me?
Does TrueCrypt work in Windows 10, to create a portable container?
Support for TrueCrypt was discontinued last year.
TrueCrypt discontinued, is no longer secure - The Tech Report
Using TrueCrypt to keep your files secure? Well, time to switch to some other cryptography software. The TrueCrypt website now warns users that the software has been discontinued, is "not secure," and should only be downloaded by users migrating data away from the program:
WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt.
The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.

What about this one then... anyone use this on Windows 10?
VeraCrypt - Home
Sorry, I have no experience with it, but it appears to be the successor of TrueCrypt, and perhaps a good alternative:

Seems to be a very good choice based on these articles. If you do try it, perhaps you can let us know your opinion and if you recommend it.
True crypt was discontinued, and they hinted that security problems "could" exist. However, it has passed audits.

Continuing to use this software is just fine.
And this article dates back to 3 April 2015. So, what has happened in the past 6 months or so? Who knows, but I can guarantee that TrueCrypt has not been kept up to date. If you have something that needs to be protected with encryption, why on earth would you use something that is no longer supported? It just doesn't make sense.
IMO, continuing to use TrueCrypt is *NOT* just fine.
