I have a Macrium back up. Would that be the easiest?

I’ll do that. New account, with appropriate name, then copy full folder to that user folder. Right?

[QUOTE=Brink;2390220]I'm not sure why the profile folder would keep getting recreated.

Another screw up. I followed all the instructions for changing the user profile name. It seemed to work, but in the end the SID never changed and -- I've tried it three -- the original username...

Sorry, but I don’t know what you want me to do with these three bat files? Run them under cmd or in the WIN 10 system?? Thanks,

I'm ready to run these. I assume that I should boot to my WIN 10 to do this, or do you want it for both the WIN 10 and WIN 11 boots?

Please explain why I need to do this? My WIN 10 drive now boots.

I have converted my WIN 10 SSD to GPT. It runs in the XPS machine. I'm now booting to WIN 11, and all three drives -- two from XPS machine and the WIN 10 SSD -- are visible. See image in my post at...
