I don't have personal opinions, but many people recommend strong encryption tools like VeraCrypt, BitLocker, or OpenSSL for secure data protection.
Other secure storage solutions have emerged to replace TrueCrypt, addressing past problems before its discontinuation. BitLocker remains strong, but using it for legal protection may be risky given Microsoft's control over encryption keys.
You only need Windows' built-in BitLocker for full protection. It secures the entire drive or partition, though it doesn't encrypt specific sections. You can also use AxCrypt, which is lightweight (~1MB) and requires a command prompt to unlock advanced settings. It uses 128-bit AES, making it strong against brute force attacks. Edit: I omitted veracrypt and mentioned TrueCrypt as an alternative. I haven't tested it yet, but it should work well for keeping data safe.
