==Installing with encrypted filesystem - SME10==
In the installer for SME10, the option is given to modify the partitions created automagically. If you go into the (manual) partition edit screen then there is a tick box for the mainroot partition "encrypt data". If you tick then "update" then "done", then after allowing the installation to proceed it will ask for a passphrase. This is put in twice to verify it. Do not forget or lose this phrase else you will NOT be able to boot into your server.
Once the installation is complete, then at the beginning of every boot the system will ask for the passphrase. This means that you will always need a console on the server during the boot process.

{{Warning box|msg=All versions of Windows prior to versions 10 and 8.1 are unsupported by Microsoft unless you are paying them directly for support. Version 10 is a rolling edition which is continuously updated, so even early version of Windows 10 without updates are unsafe to use. Windows 8.1 is in limited "extended support" until January 20, 2023. Whatever our opinions of this situation may be, '''versions of Windows previous to v.8.1 are not safe to use on the public internet.''' We cannot support use of Windows previous to v.8.1. If you have an application that only runs on an earlier version be sure to lock it down from access outside of your network.
