Just got a new laptop and encrypted a couple of folders, the handy "export certificate" reminder popped up, so I exported it. Job done. This reminded me to check I had backed up my other computers' certificates.
I opened CertMgr.msc, went to personal, found the correct certificate and tried to export it.
It gives me a warning that
the associated private key is marked as not exportable. Only the certificate can be exported.
and
Yes, export the private key
is grayed out
When I click next the option to export as "Personal Information Exchange" is grayed out too.
So I'm a bit stuck.
If I can't get it exported, can I decrypt everything, delete the certificate and create a new one? I don't know what else, if anything it is used for.
Thanks
