Does it move all users or just selected users from one drive to another?

I want to migrate to my new hard drive and want to know if it moves all the users together or just selectively.

You can choose which users get migrated.

Worked like a charm, migrated a few user accounts and about 30GB of apps and files in about 1.5 hours. No issues so far.
