Is this the way to move Users directory back to C-Drive?

I have Windows 7 set up with multiple drives.
When I got a SSD, because of the size of my directories I used Move the Users Directory in Windows 7 to move C:\Users to H:\drive, with C:\Users replaced by a Junction.
I now need to move Users back again to C:\Users, to upgrade to Win10.
I am hoping to use a similar process:
1 Backup and restore point
2 Boot into the recovery DOS
3 From dos delete C:\Users (which if I understand correctly will just remove the link not the target)
4 Copy H:\Users to C:\Users using robocopy as in the linked method.

Windows 7 is Home Premium SP1
Can anyone comment as to the reasonableness or otherwise of this approach?
It seems OK to me but is at the limit of (or perhaps a bit beyond) my knowledge - as the old saying goes:
"A professional is one who knows where their knowledge ends"." (I'm not an IT professional).

hi blifen,
I honestly think it might work. i could be incorrect but keep in mind i have never had to do that before. i never really trusted lifehacker.com before. i would have asked you to use a virtual machine to see if the idea would work but you have already done it so good luck.


boop's and good luck,

Hello bilfen,
Welcome to Seven Forums.

I do not think using Robocopy will work, as the settings are stored in the registry.

Instead, I would recommend this tutorial to restore the defaults of the user folder:

User Folders - Restore Default Location

Hi iko22
Thanks you for your reply. However this does not work as the registry thinks that the profile is in C:\users, and the junction sends it to H:\users without the registry being aware of it.
Otherwise that is what I would have done.
Thanks again
Bill
