Windows 10: "Cloning" User Settings from a Prototype User Account - (Win 10)

I've looked for a straightforward answer to this, and the searches I done can't find this...

1. This concerns a Win 10 User Accounts on both a single PC, and multiple PC's that are *not* in a Domain.
2. These are all "local" User Accounts.
3. These PC's are highly secured; no "cloud" accounts, "OneDrive" deinstalled/disabled (both in Win 10 and Office).
4. PC's are identical (hardware) and are being loaded from a master disk image. The only differences should be:
a. PC name
b. Windows Key #
c. MAC addresses

I'm setting up several User Accounts from a "prototype" Account, and would like to copy the user "settings" all all of them. "Settings" means
1. For Win 10 - Desktop configuration, Personalization, File Explorer options, File Sharing options (on a "base" Win 10 disk image).
2. For Office 20xx - All "settings" except for "Personalize your copy of MS Office" (on a "base" + MS Office 20xx disk image
3. For other software (on a "base" + MS Office 20xx + other, AKA "Full-load" disk image)

I'm assuming (a bad thing to do) that the needed info resides in:
1. The Registry in
a. HK Current User
b. HK Users
2. Each User's AppData

To do this, are there:
1. Copy/Paste from the Registry/AppData procedures
2. Commercial/Open Source tools
to do this?

Thanks!

how do i lock the icons in place in win 10

There are 2 user accounts on my Win 10 pc. For the one user I can "uncheck" the "Auto Arrange Icons" but for the 2nd used this feature or function does not work! I had Win 8.1 before upgrading to Win 10. The "Auto Arrange Icons" worked as designed for
"both" users in Win 8.1 but not in Win 10. I don't know if this is a bug or unique to my install.

 

copying user profile or cloning a user account windows 10

How can I drag and drop these files from one profile to another? I don't know how to have both users open together

 

The best way to do this is to install software and customize the default user profile in Audit Mode, then sysprep the image and deploy it. This procedure does everything you listed.
