  2. EFS Backup keys

    Thanks BullDogXX

    I performed a full encrypted backup just in case but there was no problem. Now I need to know if the previous backup EFS certificate is still good. I was going to back them up again under Windows 10 but when I follow the recommended procedure...

    (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/back-up-efs-certificate#1TC=windows-7)

    and try to expert the private key, the option is greyed out out and the message says the private key is marked as non exportable.

    Will the EFS backup keys created on Windows 7 still work once the PC is upgraded to Windows 10?
