You will have two options to choose from:
New PKCS#12 Digital ID File:
This option creates a local file (with a .pfx extension on Windows and .p12 on macOS) that contains your digital ID.
The file is password-protected and can be moved between different computers and operating systems.
You need to back up this file securely because if it's lost or corrupted, you won't be able to use your digital ID.
Windows Certificate Store:
This option stores your digital ID in the Windows Certificate Store, a centralized location on your Windows computer.
Other Windows applications can access the digital ID from this store, making it more integrated with the system.
This method ties the digital ID to the specific computer and user, and it cannot be easily transferred to another computer.
