Install the Windows 7 system to remove the user folder first

  


Many users who use Windows 7 computers have encountered such a similar problem, because the system disk space is not enough to affect the speed and stability of the system, but everyone is afraid to rashly delete Windows7 Any file in the system disk can only be uninstalled by some common software to install them on other disks. After a long period of tossing, it finds that the released space is only a little bit. In fact, it is very easy to solve this problem in Windows7 system. As long as we do some preparatory work in advance, this problem can be completely avoided. This article teaches you how to move the user folder to other processes during the installation of Windows7 system. The place to go, to save more space for the system disk while improving the system's response speed and stability.

Computer Shop News First, the default location of the Windows 7 system user folder is within the directory of the system disk (usually the C drive) in the "Users” directory. This folder holds all the files generated by the user when using the computer, such as the files you saved on the “Desktop” (actually saved in C:\\Users\\your username\\Desktop\\ directory). For example, you save the files in “My Documents” With the use of Windows 7 computers, more and more software is installed, and more and more "user-generated files" are stored in the "user folder". Open Windows7 Explorer and enter “%AppData%” in the address bar and press Enter. We can see various software to save the user's data there.


Because the user folder contains a lot of information about personal use of the computer, personally feel that it is not wise to put the user folder on the system disk, such as the Windows7 system. When the problem needs to be reinstalled, the user files are naturally lost. Secondly, since the user files are in the system disk and are changed with the user's use of the computer, it is not convenient to back up a clean system disk. If you can move the user folder to another disk, Windows 7 system maintenance will be much easier. The user files that are usually generated will be saved outside the system disk. There is no need to worry about the personal file data being easily lost. There is no worries when you want to reinstall the system at any time.

Next, we will talk about how to implement the process of installing the Windows7 system to move the user folder to other disks. Here we use the C drive as the system drive and then the C drive. The user folder is moved to the D drive without affecting the data stored therein. However, there is a need to remind everyone that the D drive is also in the NTFS partition format.

When installing the Windows 7 system, when entering the user name and password, do not enter any information, press “Shift+F10” to call out the DOS window, enter the following command:

robocopy "C:\\Users" "D:\\Users" /E /COPYALL /XJ rmdir "C:\\Users" /S /Q mklink /J "C:\\Users" "D:\\Users" ;

Then close the DOS window, and you can complete the operation according to the Windows 7 installation prompt. In the Windows 7 system thus installed, all the contents of the "User Special Folder" have been set on the D disk.

The above is the process of easily moving the user folder to the system disk during the installation of Windows7 system. Is it not too difficult to use the simple three-line command? Of course, it is okay to move the personal folder to other disks in the computer where you have already installed Windows7 system, but the operation will be relatively complicated. We will continue to discuss this part in the next article
