What is the migration procedure for moving from Windows system-wide Visual Studio Code to user setup?

I have tried the new distribution and confirmed that extensions will be kept.

Please note that the default install location of this distribution is <OS drive>:\Users\<Your username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code

The two distributions share the same .vscode folder and setting. It doesn’t force you to remove the system wide distribution when install the user distribution. If you have 2 distributions at the same time, when you open the system wide distribution it will remind you yo use the user distribution instead.
