I think that's a Migration file from Windows 7? If so I don't think Windows 10 has an import tool, you'll have to manually move your stuff.

Manually... Please explain?  At least so far... I have been unable to open the MIG file.

Mr. Data, I had tried the MIG-Recover before... Figured I would try it again.  Unfortunately I get the attached error message... Help?

 Looks like it's corrupted then.

Means make a list of all your installed programs, and move all your personal files to an external, and upgrade then.

This is what they are recommending for Windows 10: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-easy-transfer-is-not-available-in-windows-10

 

If you don't have your previous install around anymore, I don't know what to tell you.  I never use the tools for this reason.  Just copy documents and everything manually.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Looks good... Right?  One small detail...  Only PC>PC...  Doesn't work from an external hard-drive.  Bummer!

That mentions a hard drive, but it's a different version.  I would call them to verify.  They probably want you to use the easiest way, so that's why it's mentioned.  It might only be in the higher version, though.  No harm in asking...

 

Also, someone mentioned in a thread about:

if you are able to get a Windows 8 (not 8.1) iso image or disc, you should be able to find migwiz (WET/Windows Easy Transfer) in X:\Support\Migwiz

Copy the Migwiz folder and its contents. You can put it on a USB and run this on Windows 7/8/8.1/10 and use it as we always have to backup and migrate your data/profile. Just note that moving 7 to 8 or later will not copy settings but will copy data.

    • Maybe, just maybe... and it isn't you... there are some people who like the Windows 11 UI (for whatever reason) and want a better backend.
    • Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat by Paul Hill Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Mobile will see the launch of Season 6 “Gundams Arrive” on July 2 at 5PM Pacific Time. This major collaboration between the world’s most popular FPS franchise and the Gundam franchise will introduce a new, limited-time mode called Gundam Team Deathmatch where 8 players will face off 4v4 and pilot Gundam-themed operators such as Ethan - Freedom Gundam, Reaper - Sazabi Gundam, Proton - v Gundamo, Deathscythe Gundam (EW). When playing in this game mode, players will notice a switch from the usual first-person view to the third-person perspective. The new game mode will also feature specific abilities and weapons that are unique to Gundam suits rather than player loadouts. The new Gundam Team Deathmatch mode will be played on a new map called interstellar space station, which has been designed for this mode. When playing, you’ll discover that the mech suits offer specialized mobility such as dodge, sprint, and vertical jets. In the post-match, players will be able to watch Gundam operator animations with unlockable rewards for viewing. You can unlock more animations by participating in Gundam Team Deathmatch, normal Multiplayer, and Battle Royale modes. There will also be Gundam-themed in-game events, such as Survival of the Fittest, which will give players free rewards like the new legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and more. Players will also be able to obtain a variety of items through Season 6 Battle Pass free and premium tiers, including sci-fi-themed Operators and Weapon Blueprints. Players on the free tier will get access to the bolt-action 3-Line Rifle based on a World War II design and is capable of inflicting high damage with high accuracy. Free tier players will also have the chance to earn other rewards such as Skins, Weapons Blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Players looking to spend money can get the Premium Pass. These players will have a chance to get all of the content from Season 6 including tactical warriors like Silver — Chrome Dome Reskin, Misty — Science Pilot, Atlas — Dust Ranger, and The Marshal — Rock Hound; and Weapon Blueprints like the BP50 — Pathripper, Oden — Maevwat Technical, PDW-57 — Rocket Re-Entry, BY15 — Dark Moon, and the 3-Line Rifle — Geo Thermal Line, based on the new Season 6 weapon. There’s also Battle Pass Subscription which gives you additional monthly rewards along with a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, discount coupons, and limited discounts on 10x crate pulls. Activision also stated that Mythic Drops are returning to the Mythic store and that Battle Pass Vault is getting Season 9 — Zombies Are Back (2022) and Season 6 — Templar's Oath (2023).
