User Profile Migration

[Cudaboy]

I recently upgraded a Dell machine from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I used the Windows Backup while in Windows 7, then restored from that backup after installing Windows 10 as a 'fresh' installation.  I did not wipe the drive before installing Windows 10 (Home).  After the restore it looks like all the user profiles are there, but I cannot get Windows 10 to recognize them or use their profiles.  How can I link the restored profiles so Windows 10 will use them, show their desktop shortcuts, etc.?  Thank you all!

Hi,
you mentioned you fresh installed Windows 10 home but also mentioned you didn't wipe the drive, which I think you mean formatting?

also as far as I know, Windows 7 backups do not work on Windows 10.
your best option would have been to do an in-place upgrade from 7 to 10.

I assume you are using the latest version of Windows 10 1909?

Btw Windows backups are being depreciated by Microsoft.
