ProDeploy Data Migration Tool

Self-Guided Migration is included with ProDeploy Plus and is available to ProDeploy Essentials customers who choose to migrate their own data.

Preparing for migration

Set up the new PC in its final location with the old PC nearby. Both the old and new PCs must maintain power and internet/network connectivity throughout the migration process.

Note: Data migration can move slowly at times. As long as your PCs remain connected, the data will continue to migrate. Contact your engagement/project manager or use the support email or chat link if you have any problems. Do not disconnect your PCs or power them off during migration, this will require you to restart the migration process.

3. Select Network PC to PC when prompted on each PC.
