Windows 10: Windows Easy Transfer not in Windows 10 - how to transfer user profiles

I used Windows Easy Transfer a lot years back.


Any advice on a replacement?


I see there are different suggestions: Lablink, USMT (I believe this is what Easy Transfer used), Z-install fx, but it is not easy to figure out what they do?

Zinstall promises 100% migration with success but when I Google it, a lot of applications fail afterwards.
Some replies from them on their support forum is actually not very nice..

I have tried to figure out if Lablink or Z-install does what Easy Transfer did especially well:
Namely porting settings over from one program version to another and even one OS to another!
It always amazed me how I could just migrate a Win7 profile w. Office 2007 to a Win 8 PC w. fx. 2010, as long as I used the latest WET on both PC's.

Windows Easy Transfer

Hi Roy,


Welcome to Microsoft Community.


As per the description provided, it looks like you want more information about the Windows Easy Transfer.

Yes, Windows Easy Transfer can be used to move from Windows 7 professional to windows 10 professional \.

Actually it is a Windows PC transfer program that allows you to easily transfer all the stuff on your computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. We recommend Ease US To-do PCTrans. It is the most powerful Windows easy transfer software that supports to transfer
data & applications from one PC to another or from previous OS to new OS after Windows in-place upgrade. The transfer process is very easy, completely with no technical skill requirement.



Apart from these there are 2 options available. Once is to use the external drive and manually transfer the data from the old pc and save to the external HDD. Once this is done plug in the external HDD to the Win 10 system and transfer the data.


Apart from this you can also use "PCmover Express". It is a free tool to use.

Hope this information is help full.

Thank you.

 

Transfer user profile from Windows 10 to Windows 7

I'm trying to consolidate some computers, I've got one for myself (win7) and my wife (win10) and would like to copy profiles from the windows 10 box to the windows 7.

There are other questions (e.g. [1] [2]) that address moving from windows 7 to 10, but none that move the other way.

1. Windows 7: Migrate user profile to another computer manually
   
2. How do you transfer a user account to another computer?
   

We both have user profiles on the other's computer, but they're small and can be deleted if that's easier.

How do I transfer the user profile from 10 to 7?
