I cleared up a space on the C drive and installed Linux on that partition. Can Windows see files in my Linux partition?

When i installed Linux, i didn't encrypt it but it is password protected. Thanks

It was a real "we should encrypt all our drives" moment.

I would say think twice whether you really need it. Encryption is another technological layer that can fail, so it is double edged sword and encrypting something "just to be on the safe side" might not be the best thing to do.
