Why would you put Grandma on VeriCrypt in the first place? It's the more 'difficult' option for FDE.

What's easier, and bitlocker doesn't count. I want my FDE to be based on a password or a keyfile, not simply by some code in the motherboard. I want it encrypted until I, the operator, provide some data to unlock.

In my limited experience with bitlocker, the disk is decryptable automatically as long as it's in the original motherboard.
