Windows 10: How can I transfer my user profile from my old ssd to my new ssd?

I have 2 SSDS. I used to run windows on my old SSD, which contains my old users file with everything on it. I want to move my old profile onto my new SSD that I bought recently. My new SSD is the one running windows. How do I get my information from my old SSD and transfer it into a profile on my new SSD?

Accessing a User Profile Folder on old SSD

I recently took out my old SSD out of my laptop, and I am trying to transfer the files in my User profile folder to my new SSD. As I am accessing my profile folder, it provides a prompt that I need admin access in order to go into the folder. As I proceed onto the Adminastrator access, the windows explorer freezes and goes into a stalling "not responding" mode. I then tried to access the folder through the terminal but I keep getting the prompt "Permission Denied" due to a password being on this profile. I know the password for the profile but how do I access the profile and enter the password? I tried sudo but that command is not recognized in powershell.

 

New windows 10 installtion on New SSD - wont boot unless old SSD present

It seems you installed Windows while the both SSDs were connected. This would have caused your current problem. Maybe it is sufficient to do this:

1. Launch the Disk Manager.
2. Right-click drive C:, then mark it as "active".
3. Shut down Windows
4. Open the BIOS and tell it that the new SSD is the primary boot device.
5. Disconnect the old SSD.
6. Boot up normally.

If this does not work then you might have to do this:

1. Disconnect the old SSD.
2. Re-install Windows on the new SSD, using the Media Creation Tool.

 

New ssd won't boot up without old ssd attached to pc - new ssd only has one partition

Hi Igor,

Thank you for looking into my problem.
I'm sorry, here you go:





Sadly the new ssd doesn't show up as a boot option in the boot order in BIOS, the only boot options are old ssd with the MBR partition (and bootable usb when plugged in). The new ssd is listed as a coupled device though, but not listed as a boot-option.

I did try the Repair (not install) option using the bootable usb (while the old ssd is removed, new ssd is still plugged in) but Windows notified that the repair procedure couldn't fix the problem.

Is there a way to get a 2nd partition on the new ssd, destined for booting it (just like the old ssd has)? (without formatting the new ssd and doing a clean reinstall of windows)

Kind regards,

Marnix
