WIN 10 - User Profile - Copy/Move to New Profile

What’s the best way to go about keeping all my settings in my windows 10 profile, and move it to another profile?

Instead of starting from scratch all over again, is there a more efficient way?

BACKGROUND
At my work I have had my profile for a few years with my
user ID under one format/standard.

I have been given a NEW position, which requires me to get a NEW user ID (slightly different format/standard).

First off, thank you all for your suggestions; I really appreciate it (and a fast response too)!

Yeah, I figured there wasn't too many options, at least ones that are time efficient and wouldn't (potentially) cause issues upfront or later on. Especially when your dealing with 2 different profiles/user IDs.

Just thought I'd reach out to the gurus on here to see if any tricks had popped up I wasn't aware of.

I'm not too concerned about my "data", that I have backed up. Just more so all my settings and having to reconfigure everything back to a functional manner.

But it sounds like the general consensus is I'm better off signing in with my new user ID, and building clean from there.
