Dell Migrate User's Guide

The Migration report is generated after each migration attempt. The report is available irrespective of whether migration had errors, settings migration was skipped, or even if file migration itself was skipped part way through. The report is generated on the new PC (target PC).

On the Table of contents page, each section in the PDF report can be navigated by clicking the section headings. Similarly, you can navigate back to the Table of contents page from any of the other sections by clicking the Table of contents link at the bottom of the page.
