Windows 10: Move User data, when reloading or replacing a PC

In a new consultant role at new customer who needs to replace many PCs.Some with redirected folders and some laptops without. I need a solid, efficient and easy way to move over user data from the old PCs to the new ones.The guy before me here have run tests with tools from Lablink and ForensIT but did not always succeed and had less than perfect results. Also the price for the licenses we would need is like ½ a years pay.In case you have suggestions for a tool, that you are experienced with know is good! and is simple to use for a big group of supporters it would be a big help.

Multi PC replacement scenario -> user data and user profile migration

Whilst I know nothing about this myself, I saw an interesting discussion in this forum about the subject a little while ago. These are the links I thought worth saving -
How to move User data - move user, when reloading or replacing a PC - TenForums
User State Migration Tool (USMT) Overview Topics Microsoft Docs
USMTGUI - EhlerTech

As you'll see in the TenForums discussion, the tool that does the work is the [MS] USMT and the job is made more straightforward by using the USMTGUI utility to control it.

Best of luck,
Denis

 

How to move User data - move user, when reloading or replacing a PC?

We at Washington state use USMTGUI

With USMTGUI any supporter can easily migrate (backup/restore) user profiles.
You can backup local, Domain and AAD profiles and restore them to and local, Domain and AAD users.

We also use UPC from EhlerTech. UPC handles migrations of Domain user profiles over the network
We use UPC primarily to collect a users profile just before the user is handed his new PC.
Install the new PC, collect the users profile from his currrent PC and add it to the new PC, PRIOR to him picking it up.
We save a tonne of configuration time
