# User State Migration Tool (USMT) technical reference
|
|
|
|
The User State Migration Tool (USMT) is included with the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK). USMT provides a highly customizable user-profile migration experience for IT professionals.
|
|
|
|
The Windows ADK can be downloaded from the [Download and install the Windows ADK](/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install) website.
|
|
|
|
USMT includes three command-line tools:
|
|
|
|
- ScanState.exe
|
|
- LoadState.exe
|
|
- UsmtUtils.exe
|
|
|
|
USMT also includes a set of three modifiable **.xml** files:
|
|
|
|
- MigApp.xml
|
|
- MigDocs.xml
|
|
- MigUser.xml
|
|
|
|
Additionally, custom **.xml** files can be created to support the organization's migration needs. A `Config.xml` file can also be created to specify files or settings to exclude from the migration.
|
|
|
|
USMT tools can be used on several versions of Windows operating systems. For more information, see [USMT requirements](usmt-requirements.md). For more information about previous releases of the USMT tools, see [User State Migration Tool (USMT) overview](/previous-versions/windows/hh825227(v=win.10)).
|
|
|
|
## USMT support for Microsoft Office
|
|
|
|
USMT in the currently supported versions of the Windows ADK supports migration of user settings for installations of Microsoft Office 2013 and 2016.
