Retrieve key from backup #19

Closed maXity closed 5 years ago

maXity commented 5 years ago

When retrieving a key from a backup, I get a mixed display:

"Installed key" seems to be the key from the backup that I was looking for "OEM key" and "OEM edition" still show the OEM key from my current installation (not the backup)

PS: Is there an easy way to copy the retrieved keys to clipboard?

Hi maXity

The OEM key is retrieved from the current firmware - it does not get saved in a Windows backup, thus is not available from there. I had a message "OEM key not available from backup", or something to that effect, in a previous iteration, - in hindsight I should probably have left it that way to avoid confusion.

I could easily implement a clipboard copy function for each key, if need be - at the moment only the txt file copies the data.

Thanx for your support.

That makes sense -- yes, I saw the "OEM key not available from backup" message on a screenshot and concluded that something was displayed wrongly in my case. Thank you for the response!
