    Windows 7 Upgrade to Windows 10 but Users Folder Moved 2nd Drive


    When I did the Windows 7 install, I am not sure whether during sysprep or using something called Profile Re-locator, I moved the Users Folder from the C: OS drive to my second E: data drive.

    I want to upgrade to Win 10 and have been putting it off.

    I forgot how to move the users folder back prior to the upgrade.

    Hi:

    See if this tutorial helps:

    When you are ready to upgrade, the equivalent tutorial for Windows 10 is here:

    Hope this helps,

    You don't need to move back to upgrade to win 10. It will upgrade and keep Users on E: drive. I've already did on mine.
