4.
Run the downloaded file, and select Extract (instead of Install) on the second page of the
VeraCrypt Setup wizard. Extract the contents to the RAM disk.
5.
Run the file VeraCrypt.exe from the RAM disk.
Note: You may also want to consider creating a hidden operating system (see the section Hidden
Operating System). See also the chapter Plausible Deniability.
Can I encrypt my system partition/drive if I don’t have a US keyboard?
Yes, VeraCrypt supports all keyboard layouts.
Can I save data to the decoy system partition without risking damage to the hidden system
partition?
Yes. You can write data to the decoy system partition anytime without any risk that the hidden
volume will get damaged (because the decoy system is not installed within the same partition as
the hidden system). For more information, see the section Hidden Operating System.
Can I use VeraCrypt in Windows if I do not have administrator privileges?
See the chapter ‘Using VeraCrypt Without Administrator Privileges‘.
Does VeraCrypt save my password to a disk?
No.
How does VeraCrypt verify that the correct password was entered?
See the chapter Technical Details, section Encryption Scheme.
Can I encrypt a partition/drive without losing the data currently stored on it?
Yes, but the following conditions must be met:
If you want to encrypt an entire system drive (which may contain multiple partitions) or a
system partition (in other words, if you want to encrypt a drive or partition where Windows is
installed), you can do so provided that you use
Windows XP or a later version of Windows
(such as Windows 7) (select ‘System’ > ‘Encrypt System Partition/Drive’ and then follow the
instructions in the wizard).
If you want to encrypt a non-system partition in place, you can do so provided that it
contains an NTFS filesystem and that you use Windows Vista or a later version of Windows
(for example, Windows 7) (click ‘Create Volume’
> ‘Encrypt a non-system partition’ > ‘Standard volume’ > ‘Select Device’ > ‘Encrypt partition in place’
and then follow the instructions in the wizard).
