7. Connect your hard drive and select it to start copying your user profile.

2. Transfer with Microsoft accounts

One of the best ways or rather easiest ways to transfer a Windows 10 profile to a new user or a PC is to switch to a Microsoft account.

Notably, if you have signed up for a Microsoft account and use it on your PC, then you can sync your profile into another PC just by signing into it.

Microsoft account is free to register and this process will only replicate your Windows 10 user profile, not your files and programs.

3. Use TransWiz

1. 1. Download TransWiz.

2. 2. On your PC, if you only have one profile, create a new profile with admin rights.

3. 3. Switch over to the newly created profile.

4. 4. Launch TransWiz.

5. 5. Select the option I want to transfer data to another computer.

8. 8. Click Next.

9. 9. Choose the external hard drive as your location and hit Next.

10. 10. Click OK.

11. 11. TransWiz will create a ZIP file on your external hard drive.

12. 12. Connect it to your new machine and launch TransWiz.

13. 13. Choose the Restore data option.

14. 14. Select the ZIP file and TransWiz will do the rest.

15. 15. TransWiz will restore your profile.

Although Windows 11 does not have a built-in option that allows you to transfer profiles, there is specialized third-party software that can do just that.

TransWiz is our recommended choice, given that it’s free and easy to use. It is a domain migration tool that can copy your data from one user profile to another in a few minutes.

Does Windows 10 have a profile transfer wizard?

There isn’t any such profile transfer wizard available on Windows 10 or higher versions. However, there are several third-party tools that you can use to perform the exact task.

Moreover, if you are using a local account on your Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC then you may want to convert it into a Microsoft account.

This will help you to transfer your Microsoft account to the new PC from an old PC simply by a sign in.

How to fix the Windows 10 copy user profile greyed out problem?

There are a few fixes that you can apply to resolve the Windows 10 copy user profile greyed out problem:

• Check if you are not logged into the same account which you wish to copy
• If you don’t have a second administrator account, then you need to create one in order for the Copy user profile option to work
• Restart the computer by logging out of your account, and then logging back in
• Log into a new account and check if the problem resolves or not

We hope that this guide helped you with how you can copy a user profile to a new user account in Windows 11. The process is the same for Windows 10 PCs as well.

In this guide, we will show you various methods to transfer files from one user account to another in Windows 11. There could be quite a few instances when you would need to create a local account on your PC. For example, if you are using a shared PC, then you could assign this secondary account to other users. Likewise, you could also use it to segregate your works across the primary and this local account.

Well, in some instances, it might even come in handy when you are rectifying an issue, such as while fixing the Start Menu not working error. No matter the reason why you have created this account, more often than not, a need arises when you are logged into the local account and wish to access data from the primary account.

So rather than manually switching over to the primary account to get access to those data, wouldn’t it be better to transfer all the files and data from the Primary Account over to your Local Account? If your answer is in the affirmative, then this guide is just for you. Given here are various methods through which you could transfer files from one user account to another in Windows 11.  Follow along.

There exist three different methods through which you could carry out this task. And we have listed all of them below. You may try out the one that is in sync with your requirement. Moreover, throughout this guide, we will be mentioning the keywords primary account and secondary/local account. By primary account, we mean the account from where the data will be copied whereas the secondary/local account is the one where the data is being transferred. So keeping that in mind, let’s get started.

Method 1: Via Public User Folder

In this method, we will be using the Public folder as an intermediary pathway that will bridge the gap between the primary and secondary accounts. To do so, we will first copy the files from your primary account and temporarily transfer them to the Public Folder. After that, all the files from the Public folder will be cut/pasted over to the secondary account. Here’s how:

Картинка с сайта: droidwin.com

1. To begin with, log into your Primary account.
2. Then launch File Explorer via Windows+E shortcut keys.
3. Copy all the content that you wish to transfer to the local or second account.
4. Then head over to the below location:

   C:\Users\Public

5. Now paste all the contents over to this Public folder.

Once done, switch over to the second account where the contents need to be transferred. For that, launch the Start Menu, right-click on the second account name situated at the bottom, and select Switch User.

1. You will now be logged into the second account.
2. So open File Explorer and go to the below location:

   C:\Users\Public

3. You will now be able to get hold of all the files that you had transferred via the Primary account.

That’s it. This was the first method to transfer files from one user account to another in Windows 11. The benefit of this method is that it’s quite easy to execute. On the flip side, it has a major drawback as well. You will only be able to transfer data files from one user to another. In other words, only the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads, and Favorites folders could be shared.

Is it Safe to Keep Files in Windows Public Folders?

Well, it depends. If this is your own PC and you are its sole user, then there’s no harm in leaving those files in the Public folder (from the privacy point of view). However, if this is a shared PC i.e. multiple users are using it, or if it is on a shared network, then you shouldn’t keep the files in this folder. This is because the files present in the Public Folder are accessible by all the users logged into this PC as well as by all the users on a shared network.

Method 2: Via User Profiles Settings

This method is also quite easy to carry out, however, in my testing I wasn’t able to go past STEP 5. This is because the Copy To button was greyed out. Upon confirming with other users, I got mixed responses.

Some of them were able to successfully use this method whereas others had the Copy To button greyed out. Anyways, the best way to check it is to give it a try, it would hardly take a few seconds (you wouldn’t have to copy or paste any data till STEP 5).

1. Use the Windows+I shortcut keys to open the Settings menu.
2. Then select System from the left menu bar and go to the About section.

3. Now click on Advanced System Settings under the Device Specification section.
   

   Картинка с сайта: droidwin.com

4. You should now be taken to the Advanced tab of System Properties. Click on the Settings button under User Profiles.
   

   Картинка с сайта: droidwin.com

5. Now select the profile whose data you wish to copy and hit the Copy To button.

6. Next up, browse to the second account’s location where you need to paste these data. It would be present in the following location:

   C:\Users\UserName

7. So select that ‘UserName’ folder from the list and click on the Permitted to use button. Finally, click OK to save the changes.

That’s it. This was the second method to transfer files from one user account to another in Windows 11. If you were able to successfully execute these steps, well and good. Otherwise, let’s move over to the third and final approach to carry out the said task.

Method 3: Via Documents and Settings

1. To begin with, launch the File Explorer via the Windows+E shortcut key combination.
2. Then click on See More (three horizontal dots) situated at the top menu bar and select Options from the drop-down menu.
   

   Картинка с сайта: droidwin.com

3. This shall open the Folder options. Go to the View tab and select Show hidden files and folders. Likewise, uncheck the ‘Hide protected operating system files’ box, and click OK.

4. You will now get a warning dialog box, click Yes to proceed ahead.
   

   Картинка с сайта: droidwin.com

5. Then head over to the below location:

   C:\Documents and Settings\Old_Username

6. Here Old_Username is the primary account from where you wish to copy the data.
7. Anyways, copy all the required files and folders from that directory, except for the following three files:
   • Ntuser.dat
   • Ntuser.dat.log
   • Ntuser.ini
     

     Картинка с сайта: droidwin.com

8. Once the files have been copied, head over to the following location:

   C:\Documents and Settings\New_Username

9. Here New_Username is your secondary account, where you want to transfer the contents.
10. Once you reached that folder, just paste all the copied contents. That’s it. You may now switch over to this secondary account and access all the contents.
