Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to transferring user data from one user account to another user account. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below to transfer the data.

1. Login to the new administrator account.
   
2. Press Windows + E keys to open
   File Explorer.
   
3. Now click on View tab and check the box
   Hidden items.
   
4. Navigate to the location C:\Users\Old_Username, where
   C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and Old_Username is the name of the profile you want to copy files from.
   
5. Copy all of the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:
   
   Ntuser.data
   
   Ntuser.dat.log
   
   Ntuser.ini
   
6. Now go to C:\Users\New_Username and
   Paste all the files that you have copied.
   

Once you transfer the user account data you can delete the user account that is not required.
