Copy an Old WIN 7 Profile over to New Win7
I am not sure if this post belongs here but here's my situation.
Hard drive crashed. I DO NOT have any Windows Backup in order to restore the user profiles to the new drive. However, I do have a copy (a manual backup) of a profile that contains all the folders (i.e My Documents, My Pictures, Favorites, Cookies, etc).
My question is how can I best move this over to the new hard drive's profile (new). Can I move all the files over to the new profile manually or are there some files I should not move/copy over?
Again, these files that were backed up is not used for Windows Restore.
I mainly want to get the bookmarks for IE and Firefox, everything related to Outlook and of course all the document files. I know I should not move/copy the Desktop folder but I am not sure if I need to move/copy folders like AppData, Application Data, UserData, etc.
And if I cannot just simply copy the files over then what is the best method to get them moved over?
Thank you for your time.
