There are simple freeware tools for profile migration, like the first tool here: https://www.forensit.com/downloads.html
note that when you log in locally to the computer and when you log into the computer joined to the domain, those are two separate user profiles that will be created on the computer. The domain user will not have access to the local users profile even though they are the same user, windows does know that. You therefore must use profile migration tools as mentioned by McKnife. Or you can give the user permission to access the files from the local user and then migrate the files to the domain user.
You need to clarify what you want.
When a system joins a domain, it is subordinated to that domain through the application of GPOs, GPP overriding/superseding local settings if any.
Further, the default local at times might be modified by ad.
If your attempt/question deals with preserving/setting a similarly named username to access/use the same profile, that is not possible.

Yes, if the GPos enforce certain program settings, surely these will be in effect nevertheless, but all settings are migrated, in the first place, and data as well.
