Hi Nicole,
Thanks for your post. If you would like to transfer user profile without 3rd party software, you can use the following Microsoft methods:
Method 1. Use Microsoft accounts
Switching to a Microsoft account is indeed one of the easiest methods to transfer a Windows 10 profile to a new user or PC. By using a Microsoft account that is signed in on your current PC, you can effortlessly sync your profile to another PC by simply signing in with the same account.
It's important to understand that a Microsoft account allows you to replicate your Windows 10 user profile settings, but it doesn't transfer your files and programs. To transfer your files and programs, you will need to explore additional solutions.
Method 2. Copy and paste via an external hard drive or USB drive
Using OneDrive for data transfer requires internet and if you don’t have internet but have an external hard drive or a big USB flash drive, you can still perform Windows profile transfer. And the way is to use the copy & paste feature.
For detailed information, please see: https://www.ubackup.com/windows-11/transfer-windows-10-profile-to-windows-11-7983-rc.html#:~:text=Copy%20and%20paste%20via%20an%20external%20hard%20drive,your%20Windows%2011%20PC%2C%20clicking%20Paste%20by%20right-clicking.
