I just recently upgraded my system to windows 10 and encrypted it again with truecrypt7.1a if anyone is wondering... everything works fine.

Yes, when mounting a volume, there is a checkbox "TrueCrypt mode" on right side bottom, under password edit line. You can make it checked by default in settings.
This doesn't work properly. I have truecrypt file volumes created by truecrypt 7.1a that veracrypt is not able to decrypt.

Thank you. I think it's time to switch over from TrueCrypt.
Test it first. It didn't work for me. Maybe because I also use keys not jus password but anyway I had to stick with truecrypt.
That's wonderful news, but I'm curious about a couple things: (a) How much, if any, of the original TrueCrypt source code was used? The anonymous TrueCrypt author(s) inexplicably refused to open source their code even after abandoning the project, so although all TrueCrypt source code is available, the TrueCrypt author(s) still own it. (b) Who is behind VeraCrypt? I see two names (idrassi and kavsrf), but who are the…

This may be because they fixed the vulnerability with truecrypt keyfiles and didn't want to leave the vulnerable implementation around. Might want to report it and see what can be done.
Do I have to upgrade my container to the newer version?

Honestly I dont care. Truecrypt works great for me. My adversary is neither NSA nor FBI, so I can live with some small vulnerabilities. I installed Veracrypt, tried it with "Truecrypt compatibility" on and it didnt worked. This signals to me, that Veracrypt is not very much tested either, if they have bugs like this, they may also have bugs in crypto. So why shouold I trust it more? Truecrypt is proven by years of us…
