    How do I merge two Users into one?


    I have an HP 15 Notebook PC using WIN 10 Home.

    I'm the sole User, but I have two Users folders let's say A & B. A is all the Data. B is all the AppData. It's been like that for several years since I first set up my Notebook & probably made an error in that. It doesn't cause any major problems. But maybe things would be better if I merged B into A. Is that possible?

    :)

    Company merging on the horizon

    The Inq. talks about some major company merging that could take place this summer. What is likely to happen is summarized in the following list:

    • eBay is in talks with Microsoft and Yahoo regarding cooperation and perhaps even a combination
    • Oracle, SAP and perhaps Novell might be "up to something"
    • Telecoms will surely continue to be a big source of deal-making and not just through attempts to build scale and geographic coverage. Deals such as Sky-Easynet and eBay-Skype suggest that combinations of services could be the way forward.
    • Sun might be bought by Fujitsu Siemens, HP or Dell

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    Can I merge 2 users in win 10 pro v 1803

    Hello Dennis,

    Merging user accounts is not available. The best option is to move the data of the user account manually to the other user account. I suggest that you copy and paste everything you need over to the default profile you're using.

    Once done, you can follow these steps on how to delete a user account on Windows 10:

    1. Press Windows
      key, click on Settings.
    2. Click on Account, click on
      Family and other users.
    3. Select the user you want to delete under
      Other users and click on Remove.
    4. Accept the UAC (User Account Control) prompt.
    5. Select Delete account and data if you wish to delete account and the data and follow onscreen instructions.

    If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.
