Windows 10: User to User Data Migration

When I got my current device, I used my parents Microsoft account for the main user and administrator on it. Now that I have my own account, I want to make a user using my personal information, but everything is on the first account. Is there a way I can migrate all the data from that user to mine without having to go through everything and find out what settings I need to change, what apps I need to reinstall, etc. or will I just have to bite the bullet?

:)

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

Wow thank you for the help, how can I migrate the data? I wouldn't lose anything?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate your time and efforts in troubleshooting. According to the information, the issue might be due to user profile corruption. Since you have already created a new user account and verified all the settings, I would suggest you to migrate
all the data to new user account and then delete the older account. Migrate all the data from all the folder from location C:/Users/OldUsername to the new folder in C:/Users/NewUserName except these files:

• Ntuser.dat
  
• Ntuser.dat.log
  
• Ntuser.ini
  

Once all your data is migrated, sign in to new user account and check all your data/settings & delete the old account. Please make sure that you create an Administrator account not a standard account.



Regards,
