transferring data between user accounts

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to transferring user data from one user account to another user account. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below to transfer the data.

1. Login to the new administrator account.
   
2. Press Windows + E keys to open
   File Explorer.
   
3. Now click on View tab and check the box
   Hidden items.
   
4. Navigate to the location C:\Users\Old_Username, where
   C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and Old_Username is the name of the profile you want to copy files from.
   
5. Copy all of the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:
   
   Ntuser.data
   
   Ntuser.dat.log
   
   Ntuser.ini
   
6. Now go to C:\Users\New_Username and
   Paste all the files that you have copied.
   

Once you transfer the user account data you can delete the user account that is not required.



Let us know how it goes.

Move Users Folder Location in Windows 10  

If not the best way to do that but at least the way I recommend:

• "Empty" your user profile folders as much as you can, copying documents, pics, videos, music and all other personal data from all user profiles to external HDD. As following steps require you to relocate Users folder two times, the less data is left in user profile folders, the faster the relocation process. Important: Leave system folder AppData for each profile intact, do not empty / move its content!
• Reverse the relocating, doing exactly as told in tutorial Method Two but this time relocating Users folder back to C: drive
• Shut down the PC, replace the disk where you had Users relocated
• Mount the new disk, boot to Windows, assign new disk the same drive ID letter than the old one had
• Again, do as told in Method Two, now relocating Users to new disk
• Restore the backed up personal user data from external drive to respective folders under each user profile
