  1. How to transfer user profile


    Greetings,

    I'm in the process of transferring from my previous computer to the new one. An old Windows 10 to a new one. I would like to know how to transfer my profile, preferences (my settings, my default programs, etc) and my games on the store.

    Is there any way to do so easily?

    Thank you and have a nice day

    User Profile Service failed

    To resolve your concern, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Copy the Default folder (in C:\Users) from another windows 10 computer.
    • Rename the Default folder to something like DefaultOLD (just to keep it for safety reasons).
    • Paste it in your Users folder.
    • To make sure that you won't have problems with permissions of the "implant" folder, just transfer it via a FAT/FAT32 formatted USB stick (those filesystems don't have permissions).

    This will provide solution to the error User Profile Service failed.

    Let us know if you need more assistance.

    How to Transfer User Profile to Another User

    Hi, see

    How to transfer user profile [​IMG]


    (The screenshot is Win 10).

    Suggest e.g.
    a. create new empty profile with parameters as needed
    b. copy profile to it
    c. log in and test new profile making sure you have access to all programs, desktop, files....
    d. delete original profile

    Recommend: back up before making changes.
    We strongly recommend disk imaging: Macrium Reflect (free) + its boot medium + external storage.

    From what I've read and see, you can't copy the profile you're currently using.
