I have a tablet with dualboot, android and windows 10. For some reasons (eg. if my tablet becomes stolen), I'd like to encrypt my windows 10 partition. I know truecrypt and veracrypt but they add a bootloader in which I cannot use the touchscreen to enter the password.

My windows version is Home then bitlocker is not installed. And I do not want to buy Win 10 Pro just to use bitlocker.

Is there any alternative ?

I read somewhere, win 10 Home could read bitlocker partition but not encrypt them. Should I use a Win10 Pro to encrypt my partition and replace it into my tablet ?

My tablet is GPT and UEFI.

Edit: I'll need something like eCryptfs for ubuntu. Everything is transparent.

It might be doable.

First off,

I read somewhere, win 10 Home could read bitlocker partition but not encrypt them. Should I use a Win10 Pro to encrypt my partition and replace it into my tablet?

This wont work. Yes, Windows Home can read bitlocker encrypted drives, but Windows has to be booted to mount the drive.

Here is an answer for the same question for Linux that may work for you. I would expect it to work with Android. Depending on whether or not you have a TPM will determine the method.
