We migrated a windows 10 PC user profile that was logging in using server credentials to a new User logging in to the same domain.

The migration worked fine but when we logged back in to the original profile we saw the base Win 10 profile.

Did we have a setting that told the old profile to revert to an empty base Win 10 profile?

Our need for the old profile was to locate the browser saved credentials as well as other (Outlook) contacts, etc...

Thoughts?

This is the expected behaviour. User Profile Wizard does not move, copy or delete any data. Instead it configures the existing profile “in place” so that it can be used by the user’s new account. If you sign-in with the original user account you will get a new profile: the original profile has be assigned to the new user account.
