1. Create a administrator account with no password. This account will be used to copy user data. It is important that this account have no password.
2. Map a new drive or partition to a drive letter (in most cases D-Z). This drive letter will be used to represent the new user drive location. The drive or partition should be local to the machine.
3. Copy and paste or use robocopy utility (Preferred) to copy the user data. If all accounts are being transferred copy the ‘Users’ folder (default location C:) to the new user drive.
4. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

• Expand the ‘ProfileList’ folder in the left pane. Under the ‘ProfileList’ folder there should be folders that begin with ‘S-1-5-21’. These are the folders for each user on that machine.
• Click on each folder in the left pane that begins with ‘S-1-5-21’. The associated user will display in the value of the ‘ProfileImagePath’ key located in the right pane.
• For each user folder you move to the new user drive in step 3. You will need to change the ‘ProfileImagePath’ key located in the right pane.
• Edit the ‘ProfileImagePath’ key changing the drive letter (default is C:) to the drive letter of the drive mapped in step 2.

1. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList– Ensure that ‘ProfileList’ is highlighted in the left pane. — In the right pane you should see the three keys needed to be changed. (Default, ProfilesDirectory, and Public) — Double click each key (Default, ProfilesDirectory, Public) located in the right pane and change the drive letter (default is C:) to the drive letter of the drive mapped in step 2.
2. After successfully copying the desired user data to the new user drive location and after successfully editing the associated user registry key restart the machine. After the machine has restarted login with the account created in step one.
3. For each account moved to the new user drive location in step 3 delete the corresponding user folder from the old user drive location (default is C:). If you moved the entire ‘Users’ folder to the new user drive location you may delete the entire ‘Users’ folder from the old user drive location (default is C:).
4. Create a new administrator account on the machine and delete the account created in step 1 from the ‘Users and Groups’.
