When you encrypt a file or folder, you might be prompted to backup your your file encryption key to help avoid permanently losing access to your encrypted data. Note: Encryption will be disabled for a folder, if you compress it, move it to a ZIP archive, or copy to a location that doesn't support NTFS encryption with EFS. When you encrypt a folder, new files saved into that folder will automatically be encrypted. When a folder or file is encrypted using Encrypting File System (EFS), the File Explorer app shows a pad lock overlay icon for such a file or folder. This is the strongest protection which is available in Windows to protect individual files and folders without encrypting the whole drive.
Other user accounts cannot access your encrypted files, neither can anyone from the network or by booting into another OS and accessing that folder.
