Answer:

When using USMT (User State Migration Tool) to migrate user profiles, the scanstate.exe process is used to collect user profile information from the source computers. This information is most likely to be stored in a migration store, which is a location on the source computer where USMT stores the data that it collects.

The migration store can be specified by the user when the scanstate.exe process is run, or it can be set to a default location. The default location for the migration store is typically the local drive of the source computer.

Once the user profile information has been collected and stored in the migration store, it can be used to restore the user profiles to the target computers using the loadstate.exe process. The loadstate.exe process reads the data from the migration store and restores it to the target computers, allowing the user profiles to be transferred to the new Windows 10 computers.
