I am struggling with the setup of a new computer (running Windows
8.1 -> quite a nightmare!). First I followed the onscreen
instructions and set up a Microsoft account AND did succeed to
transfer my profile data to LibreOffice installation under that account.
Now I have changed my mind, set up a LOCAL account (with
administrator rights) and am trying the same. However, I just cannot
figure out, how to "reach" the location of the profile under this
account. First account: "Thomas". Second account "Thomas_2".
Under the first the profile is at: C:\users\Thomas\AppData" .... The
second account however does NOT display anything like "AppData".
Changing the folder properties a million times did so far not help.
I'm guessing here (not knowing much about Windows 8.1), but AppData
is a hidden folder. Do you just have hidden files and folders
displayed in your first account but not in your second? Select "Show
hidden files and folders", perhaps temporarily.
Two workarounds:
o Navigate to C:\users\Thomas_2.
o Put the cursor at the end of the address in the address bar and add
"\AppData" (no quotes).
o Type "%appdata%" (no quotes) on its own into the address bar. This
is code for the current user's application data folder and should
take you there seamlessly.
Do I have to delete the first account?
Surely not.
Or must I change the location of the profile?
It's rarely best practice to change default locations.
I trust this helps.
