You can’t even put /Users fully onto a second drive without hacks that potentially break Windows Update because they can’t even be arsed to use their own environment variables or follow mounts.

There used to be a native tool called Windows Easy Transfer, but it was dropped in Windows 10 in favor of third-party tools like PCmover and transwiz. There is still Microsoft’s USMT, but that’s designed as an enterprise tool and I think it depends on MECM.

Don’t forget to check your permissions and selinux file contexts.
I mean, there’s transfer wiz and profile wiz that’ll do it, but not any builtin tools unfortunately.
Yep I’m well aware. I jumped on the Linux train awhile ago. It’s so freeing.
I remember when you could uninstall Internet Explorer on your own as a regular ass user. Now? Get rekt idiot you’re stuck with Edge on your system and we’re gonna regularly reset it as your default browser.
I’ve not had win 10 default to another browser (edge) one single time in the five or so years I have used it.
I get the windows hate, but I also hate seeing bs about shit that doesn’t happen.
I had it happen on Windows 11 after the last major feature update. :(
EDIT: I should mention this is on a laptop that isn’t my main PC.
Sure, if you boot a Windows recovery image, you can do that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-bootrec-exe-in-the-windows-re-to-troubleshoot-startup-issues-902ebb04-daa3-4f90-579f-0fbf51f7dd5d
Similarly, in Linux, I’ve seen issues like a chown/chmod gone wild that fucked the system file permissions enough that reinstalling is the easiest course of action.
It’s almost like every OS will have issues if you start fucking up core parts of it, who would have guessed?
