  1. Seperate system and user data, And can easily access with a new computer


    I feels Windows 10 is easy to have some problems and most effective way is reinstall the whole system, So, I am wondering that could I separate user data and programs data with the system? Like, store the users folder in another drive, and then when i reinstalled a new system or switch to a new computer i just need to plug in the drive and access those user data then i can get my desktop, documents...every user data back to the new system.


    There two important point in my request:

    1 I want store or back up all files of users folder and can easily access with other new system or computer that can get or restore my desktop, document, and Appdata ... , even better i hope just like insert an user in a computer, like I plug in the drive with my user data to another computer, then there is an new user in the computer with all my user data. Even need account, password to sign in will be perfect.


    2 program data, it is not easy to separate program with windows system, but i still want to ask is there a good way to separate or back up program or program data?


    I see there is several ways:

    1 use mklink or set in the settings, but i am not sure it can separate all files in user folder? and How to restore when I reinstalled system or change to another computer.


    2 when i installing windows10 use control + shift + F3 to set default folder address https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/user-profiles-and-logon/relocation-of-users-and-programdata-directories . For this one, I also don't know how to restore those data, do i need to set again when I reinstalling system? Will the old data fit in the new system rather than create new user folder? will it affect system upgrade?


    3 use Dism back up system, but how to configure exclusive list for the least system file i do not want back up problems in the system and bring to the new system and can easily restore to new system?

    :)

  2. New User Profile

    System Restore does NOT affect user data. If I was in your position I would take these steps:

    1. Install System Restore Explorer. It lets you access user data that
      IS actually contained in restore points but does not get restored by the restore mechanism.

    2. Treat this event as an incentive to set up a robust backup scheme. Important data must at all times be stored on at least two independent media.
