nope, in fact you will not be able to copy them. without the ability to
unencrypt the file, it will not be moved.

What happens if you lose the private key, and from there copy the files to
a
FAT or NTFS4 partition?
Do they remain encrypted?

If they goto fat32 (probably the same for 16) it turns out they lose
their encryption because fat32 does not support these types of
attributes (same with NTFS permissions and compression.) I am not
sure who pointed this out to me on the list but I
You've got it right. Moving/copying to a FAT32 partition decrypts the file.
But the only person who can do this is the owner of the file. Anyone else
attempting it will receive an error. NTFS 5 partitions will retain the
encryption.

EFS functions like any other attribute of NTFS. Therefore, moving
and/or copying a file has a different result.
MS FAT does not support the NT file encryption standard.

At my work we ran into a problem transferring EFS-encrypted files. A

very stable. Every single time we tried copying the file to the
