Can you explain what happens when the OS is encrypted and
the computer is turned on? How can booting the OS
take place if the OS is encrypted?

Isn't the function of "pre-boot authentication" in this
instance to allow decryption and proceed with booting
the OS?

IOW, if you didn't have the pre-boot authentication, the
computer would blank screen and not go any further.

Are you making a distinction that is misleading? Like
"Full disk doesn't necessarily include the OS." But
the previous poster(s) are all talking about encrypting
the C: drive WITH the OS (whether other drives are encrypted
or not).
