How to move user files to a different partition

Tobias,

I read something the other day about what happens when you move the (C > Users folder to another partition or drive. You have to move the User folder back before upgrading Windows 10 to a new build.

"III. Steps to upgrade Windows 10 to the next build when Users folder is relocated

After you move the Users folder to any non-default location, you will not able to upgrade Windows 10 to the next build. To fix this you have to relocate the folders to it’s default location. Follow the steps below."

How to move user files to a different partition in win10

Moving your user folders to a different partition is a good idea.

Let's ask our friend Google how to move
user files to different partition in windows 10. Here are two of the many results:

HOW TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF USER FOLDERS IN WINDOWS 10

Move Users Folder Location in Windows 10

The method described is the same method used in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1.

Now you can backup and restore the partitions separately. Good move!

 

Sorry, but you aren't giving the information necessary for us to help you.

 

If the tutorial you followed is this, then please answer the following questions:

• What edition of Windows 10 you have (Home, Pro, Education, Enterprise)?
• What bit version (32 bit or 64 bit Windows) you have?
• Where and how you got your Windows 10 install media?
• To which partition or drive you are trying to move the Users folder?

In addition, please post the C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Panther\Setupact.log file here, as well as the answer file you used (the relocate.xml file). Copy the text from the files mentioned and paste in your next post.

 

Hi Kari,

Ok the story so far.

• 1.Windows home 64 bit

• Media download from your link to include an uncompressed install.wim file windows 10

• User partition created and empty drive letter U: the only file on there is the relocate.xml file.

Followed all commands and instructions to activate admin, deactivate my local account ready for the move.

All goes well till the system reboots then I am locked out, the only way back in is a back up image.

Have tried a mounted windows10 iso file which mounts fine.

Have also tried a usb stick made by rufus of the same windows 10 image.

The laptop is a lenovo yoga 500,

Secure boot is off so it will boot from usb, problem is it starts the setup from the beginning, if I proceed to repair and command prompt I end up at

X:/sources

When I restore my original back up the user folders have been moved to the new blank USER U: partition so part of the process has worked, I just don’t get to set u a dummy user stage,

Cant give you the log file as I have put image back on now and await any extra info I may need to complete this task.

and yes to the process i followed
