EFS Certificate issue!!!!
Hi. Here's what happened.
I encrypted my files with EFS a while ago and I THINK I backed up the certificate.
I moved a bunch of files over to a new HDD, copied the User folder from the old SSD, ran Samsung Disk Erase Manager on the SSD, and installed New Windows 10.
Of course, some of the files are still encrypted.
I tried opening the certificate I saved in an attempt to decrypt the files, but it either didn't work, or the certificate isn't getting accepted/recognized(I checked certmgr.msc it doesn't show up).
Is there anything that I could possibly do?
I have found the User/app data/my certificates folder with TWO certificates (not in standard cert file format though). Can I use these somehow?
Is there any way for me to completely recover my old OS or anything? I've only written ~20gb of new data on the SSD after I erased it.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
