I am trying to import a certificate into my "Local computer" account under "Personal" certificate store.
Though when running one of the below 2 commands, the certificate is imported into a new certificate store called also Personal.
First command:

Import-Certificate -FilePath "C:\Users\myUser\Desktop\LabCert.cer" -CertStoreLocation 'Cert:\LocalMachine\Personal' -Verbose

Second command:

CertUtil -v -addstore "Personal" "C:\Users\myUser\Desktop\LabCert.cer"

Can someone please advise how can I import my certificate into the original Personal store? Thanks

Should not it be `My` store? – user4003407 Aug 26 '19 at 03:55

Try importing into the "My" store – Scepticalist Aug 26 '19 at 07:06
You are both right. Thank you:) Just changed the "Personal" to "My" and that solved the problem. – Jotta E Aug 26 '19 at 16:16
