One user wanted to move an EFS certificate/key to a different Windows installation. They were interested in taking the key out of the offline system, but this would be very difficult because of
how the keys are stored. The key material is itself encrypted by another key derived from a variety of things. To export the key, one can use
certmgr.msc or, if it doesn't want to export the private key,
do a bit of PowerShell. Unfortunately, both methods require being logged in as the key's owner on the machine.
