ForensiT Transwiz vs ForensiT User Profile Wizard

ForensiT Transwiz moves personal data and settings from one Windows computer to another. It packages profile information and settings into a standard ZIP archive for transfer and restoration. The product page lists transfers from Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10, and transfers to Windows XP, 7, and 10. Transwiz can convert Windows 7 profiles to Windows 10 and assign a profile to a user account on any domain, joining a domain automatically when needed. It also lists options for backing up additional folder locations and excluding selected folders or file types, as well as multi-language support. ForensiT continues to offer the Freeware edition; its Professional Edition is no longer available for purchase. The freeware does not support Azure accounts. ForensiT lists downloads for Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 7, and Windows XP. Free users can post questions to the support forum, which the company says its team monitors.

ForensiT User Profile Wizard configures an existing Windows user profile for a new account while keeping its data and settings in place. The in-place migration does not move, copy, or delete data, and the tool supports local, Active Directory, hybrid, and Entra ID/Azure AD accounts. It also supports Active Directory and Samba domains, including moving a computer from a domain back to a workgroup. The free Personal Edition is GUI-only. Professional Edition costs $149.95, paid once, billed per technician, and provides a perpetual license for GUI migrations one computer at a time, without automation or scripting. Corporate Edition costs $3.50 a year, billed per seat for a one-year subscription, with a 50-license minimum; it adds automated migrations, scripting, command-line use, automatic script generation, and secure execution of additional code. Professional and Corporate push migrations require File and Printer Sharing and discoverable machines. A Deployment Kit can create a single executable for rollout through Group Policy or desktop management software. The tool does not migrate profiles between computers. Windows downloads are listed for Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 7, and Windows XP.
