Is it possible to migrate data/settings into a new account administrator account

So I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 to 10 and after that heart stopping moments found all my missing files. Apparently, I had always used the built in Administrator account in windows 7 (stupid I know) and now in windows 10 it really won't do that to me.

So after finding a way to reactivate and sign in using the built-in and then Administrator tweaking things to make it work mainly with the edge, I was looking for a way to migrate all my settings application, documents, etc. to a new regular profile with administrator privileges.

Since then, I realized I was still getting some problems in windows 10, so I returned to backup cloned 7 before the update.

I tried:

Manually copying files/folders of the users/administrator to a user account with little chance

Using Windows Easy Transfer, but it wont let me copy the folder Administrator

And slamming my head on the keyboard.

I know Mobile files and documents on the habit is hard, but is it possible to get my program etc settings into a new account.

Thank you

Ian

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

According to your request, I want to inform you that; the setting of the program / account settings cannot be migrated to a new user account, but you can copy the files/folders for a user to another account.

To copy the files form one user to another, account follow the steps below:

(1) connect to your computer using administrator user account?

2) go to C:\Users\User, the user account that you want to copy the files.

(3) copy the form of files, the user account.

4) go to C:\Users\User, the user where you want to transfer the files.

(5) paste the files there.

It can be useful, we meet with the status of your question. We will be happy to help you.

    My older version of Outlook Express has acquired several problems. It is time for a change, these errors will be imported into a new account in Thunderbird. I hope that everything is based on the conviction that the two programs are completely different.

  • Migrating data with external box HD

    Ok.

    I'm a novice here... I had a Unibody MB (2008) running Yosemite and the screen is out. I bought a new MB Air and it is running El Capitan. The Apple local store in the city told me that I had to get an external HD case, insert the old Mac to the MB Air HD through the USB port and use the Migration Wizard. My old HD is much greater than new and Migration Assistant is stuck on the screen that says "what you want to transfer?"  and is hung "estimate disk space..." Under the "documents and data", there is an "Edit" button and if clicked it brings up the username from the old HD. There is an error message that says 'this attention to user needs before migrating', but don't tell me what to do.

    If this can be as simple as open 2 windows in the finder and drag and drop between the two discs?

    What all the old mail? How should I treat that?

    You don't want to drag - move unless nothing else works. If you have already launched the MacBook Air and created an account on it, run the disk with the mounted external hard drive utility. Select the disk utility and repair the drive. I have not seen this error, but my first thought is that the reader can have a few directory damage and with lucky Utiity disc will fix it and you can try the migration again.

    Assuming that the Migration is possible, the Migration Wizard will create a new directory of the user and put all that existed on the old computer. This includes all mail that have been saved on your disk. Do not forget that modern mail servers keep mail on their server rather than on your computer unless you move it there. Regardless of the outcome of your attempt to migration, come back and let us know how it went.

  • Possible to move data in a partitioned into another tablespace table without indexes becoming UNUSABLE?

    Hello

    We use oracle 11.2.0.3 and know that if move us data into partitions to a different tablespace indexes get marked as UNUSABLE.

    It is the range of composite date hash partitioned table.

    As a result, to rebuild the global and local bitmap index.

    Is it possible to transfer data to one another without the index tablespace becomes UNUSABLE?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If you want to update the index (so that it becomes invalid) while you perform the move partition, you can use the index update clause.

    Details are mentioned in the Oracle documentation. Glue one of the page here for quick reference.

  • Is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief not

    Hi friends,

    1. is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief walking distance.

    2 can we perform vMotion and Storage vMotion while ESXi is turned on.

    3. is it possible to extend the VMDK disk while it integrates snapshots in it.

    Best regards,

    Sirot Vijay

    Yes the vmotion and svmotion works but one by one.

    1 - vmotion is posssible to power on State, but you can't svmotion the vm simultaneously. The storage will remain same

    2 svmotion is also possible to power on the State, but you cannot vmotion virtual machine simultaneously. the host will remain the same.

    3 vmotion and svmotion is possible together when the vm is off power. the host and storage can be changed simultaneously on this State.

  • try to migrate data from a macbook pro to another using thunderbolt cable.  Cable is not recognized, why?

    replace a 3 years old macbook pro with a new - try to migrate data using thunderbolt cable.  When the cable is plugged into laptops, its not known how to fix this?

    The two Macs have a Thunderbolt port?  The old Mac may have a mini displayport that is used for video only, but accepts a Thunderbolt since video Jack mini displayport is a subset of Thunderbolt.

    In addition, you use a bolt of lightning and not a cable mini displayport? They look alike at first sight, but Thunderbolt should have an icon of lightning on each card.

  • Is it possible to change data in a cell 'mirror' + RESEARCH questions?

    Hi all!

    The idea is the following:

    I have an accounting base numbers document implemented that automates the process of encoding of individual invoices, clients, with their price + coupons service announcements and summarizes the accounting.

    Information boards is implemented for individual receipts, or a nicer individual record to customer research with the research

    That's where I met 3 barriers:

    (1) I was wondering if it was possible for a field in one datasheet to other mirrored? :

    -L' idea is NOT to have a simple '= A$ $1 ' or ' = LOOKUP (REF., range, content) not allowing editing. "

    -It is a cell on A page SHARE the SAME content in another cell in the spreadsheet b: change in the sheet A or B would automatically change the field of mirror in the other sheet. It would be a very neatly to create a form for the encoding of the data! Somehow, I have my doubts about what is a feature of the numbers, but I was wondering if anyone knew a workaround? In other words: a field at several places.

    (2) instead of a SEARCH function that the problem of data modified in the original table (example: a Bills (past) sheet being affected by changes made to a price list): is there an equivalent of 'paste values' to that?

    (3) I have a 'General' Journal (and a table) to display financial data from my "bills", but the info is basically just a table with the "' values sought my table"bills ". It works very well with the "auto-fill" when I manually adjust the size of the table, as the invoice automatically filled when increasing the size of the table. I was wondering if there was a) an easier way to do what I know and b) a way for the "accounting" array to dynamically adjust its size according to the number of invoices (same result as one)).

    ANY help is greatly appreciated!

    Christian

    Hi Christian,

    Brief answers to three questions:

    1. # Research reports are always a sense - entered into a data cell can be collected by a formula in a cell of the second, but the data entered into the second cell will not create a change in the first cell. A cell can contain a "fixed" value, which can be changed manually in this cell, or it may contain a formula that combines the data of one or more other cells and eventually made some calculations before displaying the result.
      A cell that contains a formula of edition replaces the formula with the data entered.
    2. The formulas are always "live". If the result of the formula is based on data specific to a cell, then a change in the data (e.g. a price) in this cell will change the result calculated by the formula and displayed in the cell. The result can be 'fixed' (made to the remain the same, not "fixed") using values of dough (renamed paste formula results), but this can be done by using a formula.
    3. Size (number of rows) of the table 'accounting' (or ' table on the "journal") can not be adjusted automatically depending on the size (number of rows) of the table "bills". In the "accounts" table formulas are automatically added as every cell in the column of the first row header not the above one row being added contains the same formula. Replacing any copy of this formula with the calculated results by that copy breaks the chain and the formula prevents fill automatically new lines added at the end of the table.

    Some general considerations:

    All data should be entered only once.

    Data entry must be separated from the calculation to avoid the accidental destruction of the formulas.

    Data 'Immutable' (eg. current prices, data on clients) may be imposed and looked up from lookup tables.

    This has the potential of growth to a large set of data. Numbers are known to slow down considerably with the large data sets (and 'big' happens quite quickly).

    With regard to price changes:

    Use the INDEX and MATCH the prices of research allowed the transaction date to control the INDEX column will return a price. Each price change (or set of price changes) is entered in a new column, marked with the data hence these prices are in effect. Price unchanged compared to the previous date of change should also be included in the new column.

    Kind regards

  • How can I recover my old data settings document files firefox bookmarks and favorites of ie8.

    I need to reinstall windows xp sp2 I turned off my pc by updating the os now I ask a question after the reinstallation of the sp2 would be it possible to recover my old data settings firefox favorites bookmarks of ie8 and norton antivirus 360 documents.

    You might see if this folder is located on your computer.  Depending on how you installed Windows, it could be an old version of some files in pre-installation.

    C:\Windows.Old\

    But beyond that, there's no other place I could think that perhaps it would be after a reinstallation.

    Shameless plug for the new version:
    If you used Windows 8, all of your documents, files, Favorites, bookmarks are saved on your Microsoft Account so that you can use them even if you get a new computer (or reinstall an old one).
