⚠️ Warning: 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.
⚠️ Important Notice: 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 this documentation page for guidance on how to proceed with TrueCrypt volumes in VeraCrypt versions 1.26 and later.
From version 1.0f up to and including version 1.25.9, TrueCrypt volumes and non-system partitions created with TrueCrypt versions 6.x and 7.x, starting with version 6.0 released on July 4th 2008, can be converted to VeraCrypt format using any of the following actions:
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.
🚨 After conversion of a file container, the file extension will remain as .tc. Manually change it to .hc if you want VeraCrypt 1.26 or newer to automatically recognize it.
“TrueCrypt Mode” must be checked in the dialog as shown below:
Note: Converting system partitions encrypted with TrueCrypt is not supported.
