-<p>TrueCrypt file containers and partitions can be converted to VeraCrypt if created with TrueCrypt versions 6.x or 7.x.</p>
+<p>TrueCrypt file containers and partitions created with TrueCrypt versions 6.x or 7.x can be converted to VeraCrypt using VeraCrypt 1.25.9 or the VCPassChanger tool on Windows. For more details, refer to the <a href="Converting%20TrueCrypt%20volumes%20and%20partitions.html">documentation</a>.</p>
<p>After conversion, the file extension will remain as <code>.tc</code>. Manually change it to <code>.hc</code> if you want VeraCrypt 1.26 or newer to automatically recognize it.</p>

<h1>Converting TrueCrypt volumes and partitions</h1>
<p><strong>⚠️ Warning:</strong> <span style="color: red;">After conversion, ensure that the "TrueCrypt Mode" checkbox is not selected during the mount of the converted volume. Since it is no longer a TrueCrypt volume, mounting it with this option will lead to a mount failure.</span></p>
<p><strong>⚠️ Important Notice:</strong> As of version 1.26, VeraCrypt has removed support for "TrueCrypt Mode." Consequently, the conversion of TrueCrypt volumes and partitions using this method is no longer possible. Please refer to <a href="Conversion_Guide_VeraCrypt_1.26_and_Later.html">this documentation page</a> for guidance on how to proceed with TrueCrypt volumes in VeraCrypt versions 1.26 and later.</p>

<p>If the TrueCrypt volume contains a hidden volume, it should also be converted using the same approach, by specifying the hidden volume password and/or keyfiles.</p>
