  2. Transferring an account on Windows 10 (EDITED)

    Hi,

    As you are facing issue with transferring an account on windows 10, I would surely help you with it.

    But I would like to know the below information,


    • Entire account: are you referring to a Microsoft account or a local user account?
    If it is a Microsoft user account the same settings will synchronize to the new user account.

    Steps to transfer the files to the new admin user account.


    • Open file explorer and double click on OS (C transferring files between user accounts :).

    • Go to Users and try transferring all the data’s/ files to the new user account.

    I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Thank you for your response. If you've created a new profile and you have admin privileges, try these steps on how to transfer files from one user to another and see if it will work for you:

    • Open File Explorer and go to C:\Users.
    • Look for the account you want to copy the files from.
    • Select the folders/files you want to copy, right-click on it and select Copy.
    • Go to the new user account folder and paste the folders/files you copied.
    • Repeat the steps if needed.

    Give us an update on how it goes.
