Windows 10: Merge user files with current administrator user/account

I bought a new laptop. I transferred all users, applications and files from the old one, but I need to merge the admin user on the new one with one of the admin users transferred from the old one.

Hi Ritesh,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps

You can Enable the built in Administrator account in Windows 10, then create a local account.

I suggest you to refer the steps below and check if it helps

• Press Windows+ X, select Command Prompt, and then click
  Run as Administrator.
• When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
  
• At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: yes, and then press Enter.
• Type net user administrator <Password>, and then press Enter.
  
  Note In this command, <Password> represents the actual password that you want to set for the administrator account.
• Type exit, and then press Enter.
• Log off the current user account. And login and check the are you able to open the files
  

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help

 

Merge User accounts

Hi, I see only 1 user(apart from default user) on my laptop in system properties/user profiles. However under C/Users I see another user(apart from default and public). The 2nd user is my user name from my prior laptop. I would like to merge the 2nd (prior
laptop user) into the current one, and remove the old user name.

Im concerned that copying and pasting the old into the new will overwrite the current files.

Any suggestion how to conserve the older files and remain with my single current user account?

Thanks
