Windows 10 migrations from Windows 8.1, 7, or XP is on the schedule for many organizations this year. Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity replaces outmoded tools like Microsoft USMT ( User State Migration Tool) to provide automated, secure and reliable Windows migrations regardless of desktop platform or OS version. Whether you're making a physical-to-physical hardware move or you're going from physical to Citrix XenDesktop or VMware Horizon View, ProfileUnity does it all.

Replace Microsoft USMT and Migrate Once and For All With a Universal User Profile
Microsoft has continued to change the user profile format between operating system versions. Most changes include new folder names, registry, and storage locations that break the ability of Windows to work across multiple OS desktops with roaming profiles and basic profile tools. Users and organizations benefit when user profiles and data can migrate or co‐exist between multiple versions of operating systems. Porting profiles across OS versions has become almost impossible, making a manual migration unfeasible. Companies that have used Microsoft USMT or other similar tools for migrations have experienced an array of problems, including extended user downtime, data loss, incomplete migrations and work overload from the sheer amount of additional time and effort spent by administrators after hours and on weekends to get the job done.
ProfileUnity automatically virtualizes user profiles and settings while syncing mission-critical user-authored data to network or cloud storage. From the first time ProfileUnity runs, the solution creates a universal Window profile that retains all of Microsoft's native formats for users. This approach makes it easy for users to transition to any modern Windows operating system, including Windows 10. Moreover, ProfileUnity creates "universally compatible" profiles, which means that once you complete a migration, you no longer need to go through this process again. ProfileUnity profiles are backward and forward compatible. User productivity is unaffected, and acceptance of the new OS platform is seamless. In the average desktop environment, ProfileUnity completes the migration process – even to thousands of users – at least 3X to 4X faster than manual processes. Best of all, you can replace roaming profiles and folder redirection with ongoing streamlined user management and banish bloat and corruption from your desktop environment.
