How to open EFS encrypted files on an HDD that came from Windows XP?
I had my old Windows XP machine die. I am now setting up a new desktop that came with Windows 10 Pro. The old system had 2 hard drives: c: - system and d: - data. The main hard drive unexpected died, so I didn't have time to prepare for a migration.
When I plug in the data HDD into my new Win10 machine, it can't open some files that were originally encrypted with NTFS own EFS (Encrypting File System) encryption. If you remember on XP it would show those files with green:
So my question is how to decrypt or open those files on my new Windows 10 machine?
