Exercise 3.1

Collecting User Profile Data

Overview

In this exercise, you will create users on a Windows 7 workstation and then run the Windows Easy Transfer program to collect the user profile data that you will migrate to Windows 8.

Mindset

Windows Easy Transfer enables you to save user profile data to a file on a network share or a removable medium and then import it to another computer. You can use this method to perform either a side-by-side migration or a wipe-and-load migration.

Completion time

Question 1

Of the four users you created in this exercise, which have user profiles that are available for transfer?
Alice, Ralph and Ed

Question 2

Why aren't the user profiles for all of the accounts you created available for transfer?
User profiles are first created when a user logs in in the account. Since no one has logged in Trixie there are no User profiles hence it is not available for user account profile transfer

Because the two computers are connected via the network

Lab Challenge

Migrating User Profiles Over the Network

Overview

In this challenge, you will migrate a user profile from Windows 7 to Windows 8 in real time using a network connection.
