relocate.xml file for new windows 10 computer, made on windows 7 compu

I have been watching tutorials and searching everywhere. I am far from computer literate but know enough to get in trouble. My desktop and laptop are both running windows 7 ultimate and when I originally installed the OS I used the sysprep and relocate files to move my user files to my secondary D drive and am happy with how it went. Actually was surprised and proud of myself LOL.

I am buying parts and plan on building a 4K video editing desktop and am researching and trying to get things prepped for the relocate on the new computer. It seems when I save the file from the tutorial it changes to this which is different than what I copied from the tutorial. Is this because I am doing it on a windows 7 computer? Confused, please help. I am 57 years old and not the brightest bulb in the string! Thanks in advance!

Looks fine to me.

If you put what you posted above in [CODE] your_text [/CODE] tags so you don't get word wrapping on the forum you get this :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<settings pass="oobeSystem">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<FolderLocations>
<ProfilesDirectory>D:\Users</ProfilesDirectory>
</FolderLocations>
</component>
</settings>
</unattend>

The tutorial (Move Users Folder Location in Windows 10 | Tutorials) here suggests this :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<settings pass="oobeSystem">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<FolderLocations>
<ProfilesDirectory>D:\Users</ProfilesDirectory>
</FolderLocations>
</component>
</settings>
</unattend>

Which is identical. It is just a text file - you can create it anywhere.

If you copy/paste into notepad (as described in tutorial) make sure you do not have "Word Wrap" ticked. It will not make a difference to the file when you save it but will make it look the same.



You can upload the file here if you like if you are unsure. See How to Upload and Post Screenshots and Files at Ten Forums | Tutorials
