We used this for an XP to 7 migration and it only worked for the simplest of user profiles. When it didn't work, it was bad, because you are chasing corrupt profile issues which are very nasty to track down and once you do, it's pretty much wipe the profile and start over, wasting a lot of time.
Something like this is worth considering: http://usmtgui.ehler.dk/UserProfileCentral.htm
Or Fab's Autobackup: https://www.fpnet.fr/?page=abpropresentation&lang=en. I've heard good things about Fab.

I have used fabs for years. It only copies data and some settings. You still need to install apps separately. Check the fabs site for what settings and app data (like quickbooks ) that the current version will handle.

That was literally my first comment. And you only accepted your own? Not cool.
Third party tools exist. I think Microsoft even made a free express version of Laplink available for home use. For business though, you are better off automating using tools like MDT and USMT.
