Migrate Windows 10 User Accounts to New Computer
 

Hi

Need to migrate my user accounts on one PC running windows 10 to another pc running windows 10.
It seems easy transfer tool in windows 8 is gone in windows 10.
Searching has only found limited information and expensive software tools.
Anyone have a cheap solution?

Thanks

How about cloning the whole harddrive?
Then install the cloned hardrive and let windows 10 do its thing installing the necessary drivers.

Hi
Thanks but a slightly more complex barrier which is I want the users on a winbook. Limited space so just want to clone the users.
Ultimately I can do it manually by adding them all one by one but looking for a short cut/automated process to save some time.

Why can't you just add the old drive as an additional HD for the new computer?

Why not just write a script?

The easiest way would be to backup the User Profile Folder of the Browser you are using.

There are many free tools that allow you to do this.

That way you do not have to copy the entire drive.

Here is a useful starting point.
