Chrome Profile Migration

 

Here’s everything you need to do: 

  1. On the computer that has the Chrome profiles that you want to retain: 

    1. Copy the “User Data” folder found in this path to portable media: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\ 

    2. Export this registry key to the same portable media: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\PreferenceMACs] 

  2. Move the portable media to your new computer. 


On the computer that you want to move the Chrome profiles to: 

  1. Make sure all Chrome browser windows are closed and chrome.exe is not running 

  2. Copy the “User Data” folder from your portable media to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\ 

  3. Double-click the registry key that you saved to portable media in step 2 

  4. Open Chrome, and you’ll find your profiles are present!
