You have a computer named Computer1 that runs Windows 8.1. Computer1 has a local user named User1 who has a customized profile.

You need to migrate the settings of User1 from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
Which two actions should you perform? To answer, drag the appropriate actions to the correct targets. Each action may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Suggested Answer:
The User State Migration Tool (USMT) includes two tools that migrate settings and data: ScanState and LoadState. ScanState collects information from the source computer, and LoadState applies that information to the destination computer. In this case the source and destination will be the same computer.
As we have performed a clean installation of Windows 10 without formatting the drives, User1's customized Windows 8.1 user profile will be located in the
\Windows.old folder. Therefore, we need to run scanstate.exe on the \Windows.old folder.
User1's Windows 10 profile will be in the C:\Users folder so we need to run loadstate.exe to apply the changes in the C:\Users folder.

The user profile from the previous installation of Windows will be stored in the \Windows.old folder after a clean installation without formatting the drives. Running scanstate.exe on the \Windows.old folder will create a migration store containing the settings for User1's customized profile. Then running loadstate.exe on the C:\Users folder will apply the settings to the new Windows 10 installation. This will ensure that User1's customized profile is migrated from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Therefore, the correct options are: * First action: Run scanstate.exe and specify the C:\Windows.old subfolder. * Second action: Run loadstate.exe and specify the C:\Users subfolder.

Scenario Four: PC-refresh using Windows.old folder and a hard-link migration store A company has decided to update the operating system on all of its computers to Windows 10. Each employee will keep the same computer, but the operating system on each computer will be updated. In this scenario, an administrator uses Windows.old and a hard-link migration store to save each user state to their respective computer. The administrator clean installs Windows 10 on each computer, making sure that the Windows.old directory is created by installing Windows 10 without formatting or repartitioning and by selecting a partition that contains the previous version of Windows. On each computer, the administrator installs the company's SOE which includes company applications. The administrator runs the ScanState and LoadState command-line tools successively on each computer while specifying the /hardlink /nocompress command-line options. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/usmt/usmt-common-migration-scenarios#scenario-four-pc-refresh-using-windowsold-folder-and-a-hard-link-migration-store

O computador foi formatado então tem que fazer o scanstate no local onde está a pasta do usuário após a formatação que seria o c:\windows.old, para depois fazer o loadstate na pasta c:\users

I would also say this.... only thing is the "Customized Profile", what they mean with that.. don't know. Default the AppData is located in C:\users not in C:\windows(.old) The location of Windows 8 AppData is in the C:\Users folder, the same place as in Vista. ... %USERPROFILE% is a variable which represents the path to the user's profile folder.

Once you upgrade windows version, the previous files are logged in win.old folder that is why this answer selects win.old?

The ScanState tool can now gather files and settings from the Windows.old directory that is created during Windows installation on a partition that contains a previous installation of Windows. For example, the ScanState tool can run in Windows 10, gathering files from a previous Windows 7or Windows 8 installation contained in the Windows.old directory. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/usmt/offline-migration-reference

The scanstate command is correct, the loadstate command is trying to load data from the c:\users folder, which does not contain the loaded data from the c:\windows.old. The given answer seems to be incorrect unless the data scanstate obtained gets stored in the profile of the user who runs the scanstate command, which as far as I know is not the case.
