I have two hard drives C: solid state with the operating system installed and D: for back up. I would like to move my User profile from C: to D: to free up space on C:
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

  • Are you aware that moving your profile will render future upgrades useless?

  • Do not move the whole user profile. See zdnet.com/article/… for the reasons. You can move the user data directories (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and so on), see zdnet.com/article/… for a supported way to do this.

I think... you can move the entire Users folder from the C: drive to the D: drive, and create a 'symbolic link'.

I suggest taking a system restore image before hand.

To copy the files...

robocopy /copyall /mir /xj C:\Users D:\Users

To create the link...

mklink /D /J C:\Users D:\Users
