And everyone is going to hate this here, but turning on OneDrive. We share laptops on mobile carts hooked to essentially car batters at work. Scanners and other tools are zip ties to carts and moving everything is impractical all the time. Grabbing one that you know you've used recently and using the cloud storage to link your desktop/documents/picture then dropping your Downloads folder into your documents and remapping it makes it so w.e computer you have on any day will have all your shit with minimal time loss.

At many companies when doing IT I would write a script that would copy files and export favorites from Edge, Chrome, Firefox to OneDrive as well and had an import script so when I got the users to the new location /computer it could dump all their shit back where it was without having to copy a hundred employees shit to shared folders and keep up with making sure they were deleted to free up space for other users.

Windows has it's pitfalls, but a TB of storage space for such comes in handy.

You get a folder on the local file server at my company for that.
