Suggested Answer:

Step 1: Run scanstate.exe -
1. Collect files and settings from the source computer.
2. Back up the source computer.
3. Close all applications.
4. Run the ScanState command on the source computer to collect files and settings.
5. Etc.

Step 2: Deploy Windows 10 -
Prepare the destination computer and restore files and settings.
Install the operating system on the destination computer.
Install all applications that were on the source computer. Although it is not always required, we recommend installing all applications on the destination computer before you restore the user state. This makes sure that migrated settings are preserved.

Step 3: Run loadstate.exe -
Run the LoadState command on the destination computer. Specify the same set of .xml files that you specified when you used the ScanState command.

You can use User State Migration Tool (USMT) 10.0 to streamline and simplify user state migration during large deployments of Windows operating systems. USMT provides the following sample scripts that can be easily modified for customization if needed: MigApp.XML. Rules to migrate application settings. MigDocs.XML. Rules that use the MigXmlHelper.GenerateDocPatterns helper function. MigUser.XML. Rules to migrate user profiles and user data. Step 1: Download and Install USMT tools Step 2: Gather (Backup) data using the USMT ScanState tool, Example: scanstate /i:migapp.xml /i:migdocs.xml /genconfig:config.xml /v:13 Step 3: Install Windows 10 Step 4: Apply (Restore) data using the USMT LoadState tool, Example: loadstate \\server\share\migration\mystore /i:migapp.xml /i:migdocs.xml /v:13 /decrypt /key:"mykey" In addition to the reference links provided: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/usmt/usmt-scanstate-syntax https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/usmt/usmt-loadstate-syntax

I know this will work, but it's not the modern solution. Surely the better approach would be to configure known folders for data, enable enterprise state for settings and then deploy win 10?

I am really trying to search if the Azure AD Enterprise State Roaming is not available for Windows 8.1 and could find exact details. I would initially give same answer opting for a modern method: configure known folders for data, enable enterprise state for settings and then deploy win 10
