Then test each installation to make sure it works.Ī problem to keep in mind is that if you already have two different profiles in use you will have to sacrifice one as you cannot combine two. Then you have to create a new profile on each installation, which in actual fact only means a new name and pointing it to the shared new location of the profile. What has to be done is to move the profile to a FAT32 partition and ensure that all the PC's and OS's can see this partition and profile and can read and write to it.
