I am going to get a new laptop and want to setup settings / desktop the same as old Laptop.

Migrate Settings from one Logon ID to another

Hi David,

Just to clarify ,what is the account type of the old and the new account? Is it the Microsoft account or Local account?


I'm sorry to inform you that you cannot transfer the working settings from the new ID to the old ID.

I suggest you to perform a clean boot in your old user account and check if the issue persists.

Clean boot

Perform a clean boot to check if any third party application is causing the issue, as clean boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.

Ashwin,

I know it's not your fault, but I am not interested in yet another Microsoft Tech giving me yet another answer that argues "It's not our fault, you'll need to give up and start over". I wish to talk to community members who might have some ideas of how to
actually analyse and solve the problem.

Hi, Laplink PCMover or Easeus ToDo PCTrans if you want to transfer installed programs (and data) from one PC to another. The former I've used several times with 100s of programs installed with 99% success, tho' not on Win 10.

 

For Win10, laplink has changed their product lineup a bit. I believe, that to do that, you now need to have PC Mover Pro.

 

Vote for easeus PCtrans. It works in pretty much the same way with easeus todo backup, just being simpler by imaging programs or data.
