Exporting Power Profiles

 This is a simple task that can save you time when bringing up a new computer or even if you are in a corporate environment imaging several computers at the same time. I will be writing this how to for windows 7 users but the same thing should work in windows 8

1. Click start
2. Type CMD into the search bar
3. Right-click on CMD.exe and choose  "Run as Administrator"
4. In there you need to input: powercfg list
5. A list of power profiles will come up look for the one you want to export and copy the GUID for it (long string of numbers and letters)
6. Now you need to type powercfg -export "%UserProfile%\Desktop\What you want to call your power profile.pow" GUID
7. Now you need to copy the .pow file you just made over to your new computer
8.  On the new computer open CMD the same way you did it before and type:
powercfg -import "Path to the copied .pow file"
9. Press enter and you are done all you need to do now is go into the power settings and select the profile you just created.
