In Visual Studio Community, how do I clone all projects, on local machine, from a Windows 11 account to a new created Windows account?

I have been developing Visual Studio Community projects on a Windows 11 account.

I created a new Windows account (same machine), but as expected, new account's Desktop is almost empty and Visual Studio projects are not accesible from this new account.

Is it possible to make any kind of well done migration respectful with the original projects settings?

Solution

  • Log into your old account, open Visual Studio, click Tools --> Import and Export Settings, then export them and import them again in your new account.

    For the source files (which probably are inside your old user's Documents directory), just move them somewhere accessible to your new account.
