User State Migration Tool - History

History

USMT was designed to move settings and data from one Windows-based computer to another. It is a command-line tool designed for system administrators and is an alternative to other GUI tools (e.g. Files and Settings Transfer Wizard and Windows Easy Transfer). USMT is designed to perform mass migrations and allows customizations designed for corporate environments.

With Windows 8, many settings and data are now being synchronized in cloud services via a Microsoft Account and Skydrive.
