The Copy to... will only exist if there is a trust between the old domain
and the new domain. Assuming that this is not the case you would need to
use Windows Explorer to do this.

First, log on as either the local Administrator or the Domain Admin of the
new domain and join the computer account object to the new domain.
Then, log on as the user - but do nothing! You are simply logging on to
create his profile so that there is something to which you can copy the old
profile.
Finally, open up Windows Explorer and copy the old profile to the new
profile. This involves copying several of the folders. Should not take
that long at all.
