How to Encrypt Drives ?

This is my disk layout:

500 GB Linux - BTRFS

100 GB Windows - NTFS

400 GB Storage - NTFS (shared between linux and windows)

I want to encrypt everything. For Linux I can use luks2 but what I'm supposed to do for Windows ? (No bitlocker please)

Will veracrypt replace refind boot manager?

Note: I am talking about the one that asks password before boot (full encryption)

For FDE including /boot you'll need to use GRUB2, from what I remember it only supports luks1 in mainline, so you'll need a grub fork that supports luks2. Arch wiki will have all of that information. For Windows encryption I have no idea if you can use Veracrypt on your C: partition, but using it on the shared data portion will work. I also remember reading that Veracrypt slows down the reading and writing of that partition a lot. Again arch wiki will have that info.
- Thank you.
