Windows 10: How to Move one of 3 MS User Profile to a new laptop..Win 11

HI! I have a WIN 11 Laptop upgraded originally was WIN 10 that for several years has been shared between myself and my teenage son. When I created his "own" profile on the laptop, I had to register him as an MS user I think I am allowed up to 5 profiles. He saved his money and just bought his own new Dell laptop from Dell, with WIN already installed. I want to Delete his profile from the old shared laptop and have him log on to his new laptop, using his SAME profile - do not want to set up a new email or anything. Just transfer his stuff to the new machine. Also - how to move any apps

:)

Hi Judy

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. .

I would suggest you to follow the method give below and check.

Method 1: I suggest you enter into safe mode and enable built-in administrator and check with the status of User profile service.

Step 1: Start computer in safe
mode.

• 
  Type Settings in the search box on the desktop, select
  Settings.
  
• 
  Here select Change pc settings and then
  General.
  
• 
  Scroll down to Advanced startup, click
  Restart now.

    Command Prompt.
    
  • 
    Type the following command and hit Enter:
    

• 
  net user administrator /active: yes
  (Check for the spaces)
  

d. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.

Changing user profile account on laptop?

I suck at explaining things, so I hope this makes sense.
My husband and I, for the last 3 years, shared a laptop. Not only did we share a laptop, but we also used the same user profile, which was logged into his Microsoft account. (because we're married, we saw 0 reason to make different user profiles, nor could we be bothered to)

He just got his own laptop. Now that he has his own, he suggested I switch the profile's Microsoft log in to mine as he has no use for the laptop anymore.
I know I can reset the laptop to do this or make a new user profile and remove his but I want to keep alllllll the settings and stuff that I have on the user profile. The thing has 3 years of use on the profile, its set up just the way I want it(we're both very picky about settings)

How do I switch the user profiles Microsoft account without resetting/making a new profile?
