Tutorial: How to Transfer a User Account to a New Windows PC

How do I transfer my user account to another computer?

Scenario 1: Can I transfer my user account from a desktop to a new laptop?

Does anyone know how to transfer a Windows user account with its password, personal settings, etc., to a new laptop on the same network? I bought a new laptop yesterday, and I'd like to use my old user account and settings on the new one instead of creating a new account. Is there any way to achieve this?

Scenario 2: How to transfer a user account to a new computer across different network environments?

"I forgot to bring my laptop while traveling and am currently using a borrowed one. I created a new user account on it and made some useful documents. I have two days left before going back home. I want to take this user account along with all the new files I've created on the borrowed computer. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to transfer the current user account, including all its settings and files, to my laptop at home? I mean, the two computers are on different networks, so is there still a chance to make this work? If yes, how?"

Due to various needs and reasons, many Windows users now face the issue of how to transfer their user account, including passwords, personalization settings, and even power settings, to a new PC or laptop. If you're one of those in urgent need of moving user accounts between computers, rest assured that you can find the best solutions right here.

Best solution: Use the Todo PCTrans tool to transfer user accounts and settings to the new computer.

Some of you might be thinking that Windows' built-in transfer tool, Windows Easy Transfer, is the solution for moving user accounts between computers. And you'd be right – in Windows 7 and Windows 8, Windows Easy Transfer does move your files over. The problem is that Windows Easy Transfer isn't supported in Windows 10. This means that if you're using Windows 10, you won't be able to transfer your files over, nor will you be able to migrate unsupported user accounts.

So, what's the best option? Well, there are many Windows file-transfer tools out there. But, for the sake of your privacy and cybersecurity, you might want to think twice before downloading whatever is available.

Todo PCTrans is a secure Windows migration tool that you can trust and use immediately to transfer user accounts, including all settings, to a new computer. It boasts the following three major advantages:

If both computers are on the same network, you can transfer files directly over it.

3. Secure File Transfer with No Privacy Leaks: When transferring files, or even user accounts, with Todo PCTrans, your personal information is 100% secure – no leaks or losses.
