So I'd like to set up a multiboot system on my 4TB hard drive with Windows 10 64bit and a Linux distribution such as Debian and fully encrypt it with VeraCrypt. Is this possible? And if so how?

  • It should be possible. Windows 10 and Linux both support VeraCrypt (MBR) I can't think of any reason them being together would be a problem. – Ramhound Apr 08 '16 at 13:23
  • The answer to this Q http://superuser.com/questions/1019673/how-would-i-encrypt-my-whole-linux-filesystem-with-veracrypt suggests it's faster/better to use LUKS with Linux. Since you need separate partitions for Linux & Win anyway, why not use separate encryption too? – Xen2050 Apr 08 '16 at 14:25
  • @Xen2050 Alright then; is it true that I can't use system encryption then? Do I need to manually partition the drive or will it work with both os creating their own partition? – mYnDstrEAm Apr 08 '16 at 14:34
  • The answers for a Debian based linux with LUKS are in the Q linked above, and in many guides online, just search for your distribution & LUKS install. For Win, I don't know – Xen2050 Apr 08 '16 at 16:04

No. Veracrypt does not support encryption of the root partition of Linux. However, it is possible to create a fully encrypted setup, using VeraCrypt for Windows and LUKS/DM-Crypt for Linux.
