Great tutorial - Thanks.
I came across a huge problem (possibly self inflicted) on my system which I resolved but I thought I'd share in case anyone else needed to avoid a small heart attack.
So I followed the instructions as listed,
First Heart Attack.
My Users folder was in the region of 40gb in size on a 120gb (compressed) SSD, hence why I needed to make this change.
Be prepared to wait, mine took over 2 hours once the windows loading screen came on, to complete the transfer. I'm assuming the system makes a lot of changes during the moving of the Users folder.
During this period the HDD light was always active but there were a few moments that I thought something had gone drastically wrong. Luckily the Ryder Cup was on which therefore reduced the temptation to terminate the process, which would undoubtedly have been catastrophic.
The Lesson - Be patient and don't panic if the HDD light is still active.
Second Heart Attack
So I returned after the humiliation of the Ryder Cup defeat (what a great Ryder Cup though) expecting to see the same stupid revolving windows icon, but to my surprise I was graced with a windows setup screen, PHEW!
So I raced through the settings and I can't remember at any point a section for adding a new user. However was possibly an oversight on my own part in the rush to get done. Anyway, the system restarted and I was faced with a login screen with no users on it, my poor heart once again began to strain as I tried to log in as an administrator / old account / made up account, as none of these worked began entering the emergency response number into my mobile phone in preparation of the inevitable cardiac arrest.
Instead of panicking further I retired to bed and decided to tackle the problem in the morning.
Wakey Wakey
So I'm up, sorting the kids for school, my heart can't take much more, and I realise that getting into safe mode would surely be the way forward but I've never seen the option to get into safe mode in Windows 10 unless actually logged in. I've tapped F8 F5, all of them to no avail.
Introducing Google....
Search - 'disabled a windows 10 user account. I'm locked out'
found this

The folks at Microsoft know just how much of a goof the average Windows 10 user can be, which is why all copies of Windows 10 have a hidden account named Administrator that has administrative privileges. In the event that something happens to your primary Windows 10 account, you can lean on this hidden Administrator account and create a new account with administrative privileges for yourself using this account. The hidden Administrator account is only accessible when a computer is in safe mode.
At the sign-in screen, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and click on the Power button located at the bottom of the screen. From the menu that pops up, click on Restart, all while holding down the Shift.
Only let go of the Shift key when the Advanced Recovery Options menu appears.
In the Advanced Recovery Options menu, click on Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup settings > Restart. When your computer restarts and you are greeted with a blue screen with a horde of different options, press the numerical key on your keyboard that corresponds with the Enable Safe Mode with Command Prompt
When your computer boots up, you will be able to see the hidden Administrator Log into it.
Open the Start Menu, type cmd into the Search bar and click on the search result titled cmd to open a Command Prompt.
Once you are in here, all becomes easy. Don't follow the rest of the instructions on the link as the are for a different purpose but instead directly activate your accounts you previously deactivated;
net user <accountname> /active:yes
Do this for each one and then simply close the cmd box and the system should restart.
On restart everything works perfectly and the user folder is in the new location.
If this saves a single person from the nightmare of thinking you could have lost all your work, pictures, porn (joking) etc then I'm glad to help. If it doesn't help anybody then take this as me celebrating my my newly found low blood pressure.
Heart Attacks Over :)
