Moving a user profile with FAB's

[Mick]

A question re using FABs: I have a client who is getting rid of his old laptop (Win 7 Home) and replacing it with a new desktop from Chillblast Computers (win 10 Home). He wants me to 'move his stuff'. I'd normally use Fab's for this (and still intend to) but when I take a look at the new machine, I see it has one SSD and one HDD installed. So, OS and programs will live on the SSD and data on the HDD (or that is what I intend to suggest and implement, at least). I'll alter the paths to the various Libraries etc to reflect that. The old machine just has one HDD installed so obviously right now everything lives on that. Initially, I figured to just use the HDD in the new machine and dump the whole user profile on that, but it occurs to me there are some items involved here that should actually be copied to the SSD where the OS resides. I'm thinking of stuff like screen-savers and so on.

Does anyone know if there is a 'best practice' means of using Fab's to achieve this in one pass, or will I just have to manually relocate things?

Edit: Actually, I now see that I'm asking the same question as @Fred Claus asked a couple of weeks back. Looks like the answer is to specify the re-directs before you use Fabs for the restore. Can anyone confirm this works?

THis should work. I have done it. As long as my docs, and pics, and music have be redirected it should do it no problem.

@Rosco : Many thanks.
