Okay, I hope this is the right place for this:

I downloaded a certificate from the Ministry in a .pfx to sign prescriptions at home if I need to. When importing using the MS Certificate Import Wizard, I forgot to select the extra security option of having to enter a password each time it's used. This is not an imminent threat since I don't take this laptop anywhere, but I'd still like to know how I can delete the imported certificate and re-import it, this time with a password requirement.

The Wizard isn't much help because it just tells me something like 'Imported certificates are stored where your operating system stores imported certificates. This one will be stored in the same location'. I'm using W11.

I'm pretty sure it'd be in the certificate manager, probably under personal? But that should at least be where your certificates are stored.

will windows (10) panic and think it's in the wrong PC because of the hardware changes (aka will I need to get a clean install for windows somewhere?)


Very unlikely. Windows survives most things now adays. You might benefit from a reset or reinstall, but it shouldn't be required.

hello, I'm going to have to replace the motherboard and CPU of a pc, keeping the power supply, gpu, RAM, hard drives and case.
Are you positive that you can? If you're getting a new motherboard and you were on DDR4 ram for example, in some cases you won't be able to use it, and even if you could would harm performance. I'd check over in the building megathread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3970266

Can't your copy your fonts folder? I'm trying to remember if you can install fonts without them appearing in that folder, I'm pretty sure you can't but I could be wrong.

99% sure you still just copy the fonts folder.
