Windows Vista; Backup EFS Certificates and Recovery Keys; Signing in to backup failure

How can I backup my Recovery Keys and EFS Certificates

* I went to the Control Panel

* Security Online Backup

* I tried signing in (yes I used an app password),

and it just keeps saying username and password incorrect.

I know that operating systems older than Windows 8 require app passwords when linking operating system to a live account (msn, office, or xbox). But regardless it never works for me.

My computer came with Windows 7 but the system kept crashing, so now I am using a preactivated copy of Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 6.0.0.6002 (64-bit), my system crashed so I had to reformat it, since I had only an OEM license for the installed system and
ran out of space I decided to install Windows Vista. I had issues trying to activate Windows Vista, so I had my friend give me a WGA modified, reinstallation DVD with Windows Vista Ultimate so I don't get annoyed into activating it, since it is a modifier
installed, I liked it like this, for two reasons:; *I didn't want to buy a license for an
unsupported operating system
and because it costs too much money. It's best security installed is Windows Defender. I have installed it on February 12, 2018. I use it for Bitlocker Protection, I don't remember my key so I need help backing it up.

Is no one going to respond to this, Microsoft won't help me.

 

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...

(Windows help & learning - Microsoft Support)

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.

 

Encrypting File System (EFS) BackUp question

Hi Carlos.

When i encrypt my first folder (Receipt) i did a EFS BackUp (BackUp the certificates and keys) to a removable disk.

But then i wonder if i should encrypt the BackUp folder (EFS BackUp).

If i lost my certificates (because of a disk failure, for example)

When i then restore the backup copy to Windows.

Can i regain access to these files if the BackUp folder is encrypted ?.
