   If you encrypt the system partition or entire system drive   
   Veracrypt seems to works: when you power on your computer   
   you are asked for the veracrypt password. You insert the   
   veracrypt password and after some seconds windows starts too;   
   you think that your data are secure but they are not.   
   Power off your computer.   
   Then power on your computer and immediately press ESC button.   
   You will enter the HP BIOS START MENU.   
   Press the ENTER button to continue.   
   The screen will become dark for some seconds, but the computer   
   is still ON. Press ESC button. Windows will start WITHOUT   
   entering Veracrypt password.   
   Yes, you need to insert the Window password, but how it is   
   possible that windows starts wiithout entering the Veracrypt password?
