How to Encrypt Drives ? (self.linux4noobs)

This is my disk layout:

500 GB Linux - BTRFS

100 GB Windows - NTFS

400 GB Storage - NTFS (shared between linux and windows)

I want to encrypt everything. For Linux I can use luks2 but what I'm supposed to do for Windows ? (No bitlocker please)

Will veracrypt replace refind boot manager?

Note: I am talking about the one that asks password before boot (full encryption)

So, it's not possible on rEFInd too, right? Similiar to systemd-boot?

I like rEFInd's appearance but it seems that grub2 has lots of tech support also theming (still will prefer rEFInd for looks)
