Is there a better? more open source drive encrypter

Not OP but AFAIK there is no open source full disk encryption solution available for Windows since Trucrypt went EOL some time ago.

shift+F10 = bitlocker unlocked

>literally has a back end built into it

you tell me

cant encrypt windows 10 even if you have TPM unless you login with a microsoft account

soooooooo its complete garbage lol

>Is it safe?
nothing is safe anymore

windows is shit yo

VeraCrypt

Veracrypt is the open source successor to Truecrypt.
Also, the creator of Truecrypt was a murderer, SEA drug lord, and a general shitstain: magazine.atavist.com/the-mastermind (7 chapters, but a great read - more unbelievable than any modern conspiracy crime fiction novel)

Depends on what you're doing, are you a jihadist or a pedophile? Probably not the best thing since 1) your keys are automatically backed up with Microsoft if you've got an internet account
2) it probably has been compromised on behalf of the NSA

If you're worried about a nosy girlfriend or Tyrone stealing your laptop, Bitlocker should be more than secure enough.

I'll have to read up but that sounds pretty fucking crazy. So is Veracrypt what's currently recommended for Windows 10 FDE?

Depends on level of paranoia.
Bitlocker's ease of use and performance hit on I/O is now less than 10%, and Bitlocker lead swears that there is no backdoor, but can you trust them when their own Sami just found the shift+F10 elevation exploit and his MVP pals leaked him the multiple SCCM Bitlocker exploits. FBI/NSA can easily backdoor Bitlocker even w/ Device Guard + TPM + Preboot PIN.
Veracrypt performance hit on mounting volumes is annoying as shit. Veracrypt doesn't use TPMs because they feel the hardware is too easily compromised. This is the more paranoid solution that is somewhat peer-reviewed, but still not a user-friendly solution and has too much legacy Truecrypt code.

tl;dr - Bitlocker with 256-bit AES-XTS is tits, but backdoor. Veracrypt performance hog and possible UEFI backdoor if not using Secure Boot.

>Also, the creator of Truecrypt was a murderer, SEA drug lord, and a general shitstain
Sounds like someone I'd trust to write my encryption software desu

I'm pretty fucking paranoid lately but I also use my system of general work and gaming. How big is the performance hit?

I have both my drives, SSD and HDD with Bitlocker and there's no performance hit at all.

>shift+F10 elevation exploit
A boot partition that uses bitlocker needs to already be unlocked before the upgrade can even start.

>shift+F10 = bitlocker unlocked
shift+F10 = opens a cli for recovery purposes
it doesn't magically unlock an encrypted drive

I was asking about Veracrypt but having used Bitlocker I'm aware it's not too bad on performance.

>proprietary encryption

Shaggity my diggity,
