Hi there! :)
I am not sure what you meant by "copy the date of the user"... To migrate a Windows user to a different Windows 10 PC, you will need to backup the profiles manually for each user before upgrading the computer. Please refer to the guide below for step by step instructions on how to do this.

We use a very easy approach:
-download the setup ISO and extract it to a share
-deploy a scheduled task to machines that will launch at a certain day and call setup with these parameters:
And that's all. Machines will upgrade as soon as that task launches. If you are expecting bandwidth problems because a large number of PCs will be pulling that upgrade at the same time, you can utilize start time randomization within the task, so instead of all PCs starting setup at, say, 8 AM, you could randomize the time between 8 AM and 4 PM, which allows you to use a single Gigabit connection to upgrade 600 systems within less than eight hours.
This works with Windows 7, or any newer version. Your software and data will be kept.
However, if you are not sure if your machines (their soft- and hardware) are even compatible with windows 10, you will need to test it with a few machines thoroughly.

No offence intended but looking at the questions you've been posting recently and the large number of computers you're referring to, I recommend seeking a consultant or outside help to arrange this.
We can certainly offer advice but we cannot know you full setup, known issues or even your skill level. If anything goes wrong with this you could lose data or prevent existing applications working.
3000 users could end up very angry and could even put the business's stability at risk.

In a large environment such as that the user's data shoukd commonly be on the server that gets backed up: I.e. Folder redirection.
It is unlikely the data is on the workstation as backing up workstations .....
The major part deals with installing, deploying software.
Again, in such a large environment, there shoukd be a GPO software deployment that pushes the common software.

Thx
You are very welcome. Happy to help
Boot into the Windows 7 system and then run the Windows 10 installer in Windows 7.
This should upgrade the Win 7 to Win 10 retaining user data but incompatible software and drivers may be removed. The installer will tell you about incompatibility with your hardware and the new operating system. You'll probably need to purchase a Windows 10 licence.
