RE: keeping the same user profiles and settings

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Thanks for your reply. I was mistakenly told you that I am working with
Jason, it is actually Vincent XU who is working on my thread. As per Vincent
I need to use Security translation wizard to do local user profile
migration which I tried several times without success. That is why I am
looking for alternate method. I will open a new thread for this issue.
