When installing Windows, at the step of selecting the region format (language and keboard layout), press Ctrl+Shift+F3
to reboot into Audit mode
.
After a while, press Cancel
on the System Preparation Tool 3.14
popup window.
Then create a file relocate.xml
with following:
relocate.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<settings pass="oobeSystem">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<FolderLocations>
<ProfilesDirectory>F:\Users</ProfilesDirectory>
</FolderLocations>
</component>
</settings>
</unattend>
Pay attention to the property: processorArchitecture="amd64"
(if you have 32-bit Windows, it should be "x86"
).
And look at the inner of the <ProfileDirectory>
tag: F:\Users
. This is the new location of the C:\Users
folder.
