Professional Windows User Profile Migration Tool
OpenWizz is a high-performance, open-source tool for migrating Windows user profiles between machines. It combines a native C++ core engine with a modern WPF (.NET 10) user interface.
- Full Profile Migration — Transfer user data, application settings, registry entries, Wi-Fi profiles, and more
- High-Performance Engine — Zstd compression, SIMD-accelerated operations, async I/O with direct buffering
- Security First — AES-256 encryption, VSS snapshot support, ACL preservation, integrity verification
- Smart Filtering — Exclude temporary files, caches, and unnecessary data automatically
- P2P Transfer — Direct machine-to-machine migration over the local network
- TransWiz Compatibility — Import profiles created with ForensIT TransWiz
- Modern UI — WPF interface with dark/light themes, queue management, and progress tracking
- CLI Mode — Scriptable command-line interface for automation and batch operations
