[Solved] How Can I Transfer User Account Settings Easily

What Are User Account Settings

A Microsoft Windows user profile or User account settings describe the Windows configuration for a specific user, including the user’s environment and preference settings relating to installing applications, desktop icons, and color options.

It’s common to see that families or colleagues share the same computer or laptop. To protect the privacy of each independent member, it’s good to make their user account. Only with a login password or granted permission from user A, user B can get free access to user A’s files and installed programs.
