   Not always true.   
   XP folder name   
     C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]   
   Win10 folder name   
     C:\Users\[Username]\Documents   
      
   In XP, username was always local account   
   IN W10, username is either local or MSA account(the latter 5 characters   
   of the email address or a system generated user name of alpha based   
   character name).   
      
   Copying from XP to 10 best approach is to not copy the folder, but the   
   contents of the folder's files and contents of the subfolder files to   
   the same named or system generated(or user created) folder names.   
     - the destination for the initial copy(disk, usb, network drive) from   
   XP, then to the Win10 \users\username\Documents folders, subfolders.   
      
   Note: Reply only to Win10 group(since the comment was relative to XP to   
   Win10)
