  1. Dual boot encryption at OS selection


    I have two ssd's both with Windows 10. I have it set to boot to OS selection. I want to encrypt both ssd's separately so that when I choose one OS or the other that is when I have to enter the password. So far I have use bitlocker to encrypt one drive but it requires me to enter the password before choosing the OS. I need to be able to choose which OS I want then enter my password. Is this possible with bitlocker or any other encryption software?

    :)

  2. Colour Windows 10 dual boot OS selection screen

    Hi,

    As you have a dual boot, with Windows 10 installed successfully. I would like to inform you that, under the boot section option were system is booted with preference is normal with the default background screen as black. If at all the background screen
    during the boot option is of different color, which would be set by the manufacturer.

    So if you prefer a different background color for the boot section, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of booting the operating system to desktop for further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

  3. Colour Windows 10 dual boot OS selection screen

    Hello. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I have a dual boot system on my main computer with Windows 10 and Windows 7. I did this a few months ago and it is working well. When I installed it, I remember it choked a bit before it started to work.
    The screen that comes up first with a selection of operating systems has always been black with simple white typing on it. Recently I saw that a friend's computer has a nice blue coloured screen with OS options accompanied by a picture. Does anyone know how
    I can get Windows to give me this nice pre-startup screen? I don't want to risk causing a malfunction by fooling around with it, but the colour screen would be nice. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    I'm sorry but no it's not possible. Once you encrypt the drive with bitlocker or any program it will require you to enter the password before it will boot/read any data on that drive. If you have both drive's hooked up and you encrypt them both at the same time it can cause problems.

  6. Have you tried Truecrypt? It takes over the MBR and you have to authenticate before the windows MBR runs. I believe this is what you are trying to accomplish.
