I am currently trying to decrypt my files from my old laptop. I have a backup of the user folder of the old laptop and I am trying to find the old user master key to decrypt my files based on mimikatz wiki. However, when I look at the master key directory %appdata%\Microsoft\Protect\<old_user_sid>\, it is empty. Where does the master key actually stored in?

After looking through mimikatz GitHub issues, I found the same question asked. Apparently, Windows hide the master key (and other system) files.
