<h2>4. Conversion and Remediation Procedures</h2>
<h3>4.1 Converting TrueCrypt Volumes to VeraCrypt</h3>
<p>TrueCrypt file containers and partitions can be converted to VeraCrypt if created with TrueCrypt versions 6.x or 7.x.</p>
<p>TrueCrypt file containers and partitions created with TrueCrypt versions 6.x or 7.x can be converted to VeraCrypt using VeraCrypt 1.25.9 or the VCPassChanger tool on Windows. For more details, refer to the <a href="Converting%20TrueCrypt%20volumes%20and%20partitions.html">documentation</a>.</p>
<p>After conversion, the file extension will remain as <code>.tc</code>. Manually change it to <code>.hc</code> if you want VeraCrypt 1.26 or newer to automatically recognize it.</p>
