  1. Account Transfer


    Hi all,


    I have been using a different computer for a while now but I haven't been using it in my account. I had never got around to adding my account to the computer and had been using my little brothers account. It has been around 6 months now and I want to use my account but I still want to keep all my game data and documents but I am not sure how to easily transfer everything onto my account. Could someone please help me out.


    Thanks, Jaxon.

    :)

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Multiple questions about installing - transfer accounts etc.


    According to you, the accounts were Windows built-in admin, a local admin and standard user. None of them needs to be moved.

    The built-in admin account, as the name says, will be there when you boot the laptop first time. It is disabled by default, you just need to enable it. For two other accounts, simply create same accounts on laptop.


    Attach the HDD to laptop using an external USB enclosure, copy contents of data folders to respective folders on laptop.


    You mentioned that the desktop accounts were / are local accounts, not Microsoft accounts. See the options to get Pro here:
    If you can still access Windows on desktop, boot it up, make it a Microsoft account and link license to that MS account. Tutorials:
    When done, see this tutorial. It will show step by step what do on the laptop to transfer desktop license to it: Use Activation Troubleshooter in Windows 10

    This article is the best I have seen about when a license transfer is possible, and when not:

    Transferring an account on Windows 10 (EDITED)

    Hi,

    As you are facing issue with transferring an account on windows 10, I would surely help you with it.

    But I would like to know the below information,


    • Entire account: are you referring to a Microsoft account or a local user account?
    If it is a Microsoft user account the same settings will synchronize to the new user account.

    Steps to transfer the files to the new admin user account.


    • Open file explorer and double click on OS (C Account Transfer :).

    • Go to Users and try transferring all the data’s/ files to the new user account.

    I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
