Thank you for all of your answers! From what you answered and what I've been reading, it seems I have just one way to go (considering what I want to achieve, especially dual-boot):

veracrypt (https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html) - open source, free. Available in binary form, does not require kernel modules, works on more systems than bestcrypt, I guess.
Works on both Windows and Linux, is powerful and featureful. I think I'm going to use it to encrypt my personal files (D:) partition.

If you used full disk encryption, you could maybe reduce the problem by just finding file systems that can be used on both OS's.
That could end up being native MS NTFS or EXTn with a windows driver.
How life is... less than a week ago, he was alive and answered a doubt of mine. Now, I can't talk to him... RIP John Andersen...
:-(
But if I understood him well, by "full disk encryption" he meant what VeraCrypt calls "partition volume". That is exactly what I'm looking for.
No, full disk is full disk, all the partitions. The entire disk. I don't know of a software solution for full disk encryption for both Windows and Linux. There is a firmware method, if the firmware supports asking for the password before booting.

exfat. supported via fuse, drivers on packman.
That filesystem is new to me. I need to search...
It is used on memory cards beyond 32 GB. NTFS is better for your use case, I added the info for completeness. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
