The correct way to do this is to create a new user with lusrmgr.msc and then use the User Profiles dialog "Copy To..." feature to copy the old profile to the new profile.

Apparently, "Copy To" no longer works on Windows 7 and higher. The button is greyed out for all user profiles except the "Default" profile. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e4cd5a0c-b...
