Copy Existing User to New User: Replicate All Information from the Existing User
Hello there,
It's been a while since I last used Windows 11 22H2 as I've been mainly working on Macs. However, I have a query regarding setting up a new user account. Currently, I am the only user on my Dell system with Microsoft Office Home & Business 2019 installed.
I am looking to create a new user account with administrative privileges that mirrors all of the applications, files, directories, security settings, essentially replicating everything that I currently have on my user account.
I have spent some time scouring the internet, including this forum, but I haven't found any definitive guidance on whether this can be achieved or how to do it.
If anyone could assist me in setting up the new user account as described, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Gerd

Use Control Panel > User Accounts > Manage Other Accounts > Create a New Account to copy user settings, or use the command net user new user /add /copyprofile:old user to migrate settings.
