Prerequisites
- Ensure that both the old and the new PCs are connected to the same network. This is mandatory as the wireless data transfer through the network only works when both the PCs are connected to the same network. The time Migrate takes to complete a migration depends on the network speed and the amount of data to be transferred from the old PC to the new PC. It is recommended to connect to a wired network. If you use a wireless network, a 5 GHz network is faster than a 2.4 GHz network. However, migrate is designed to work over any network.
- Ensure that both the PCs are connected to a power outlet to avoid disruptions during the migration process. If one PC were to run out of battery power, the migration or erase process would not complete successfully.
- Ensure that the operating system on the old PC is Windows 7 or later.
- Ensure that the operating system on the new PC is Windows 10 or later.
- Ensure that you are logged in with an administrator account.
- Ensure that the computer is connected to the same local network.
Steps
- Open Data Assistant on the old PC. If you do not have Data Assistant, download it from the Dell Data Assistant page.
- Perform one of the following steps:

following steps:

On the next page, click Let's get started to start the migration process. The migration process searches for your old PC on the network. The next step takes you through the device pairing for both the old and the new PCs.
Figure 5. SupportAssist on your new PC 
- Applicable to both the old and the new PCs—after both the old and the new PCs discover each other on the network, a six-digit code is displayed on the old PC. Enter this six-digit code on the new PC. This establishes a secured connection between the two PCs for the migration process. A success message is displayed when the code entered on the new PC matches the code on the old PC.
NOTE:The 6-digit code is refreshed every 60 seconds until the pairing of both the PCs is completed. If you fail to enter the correct pairing code five consecutive times, the migration process is terminated for security reasons. You then must close Migrate on the old PC and the new PC, and then relaunch on both PCs to try again.
Now that both the old and the new PCs are paired, you can begin transferring your files and settings to your new PC. You can then also erase your files and settings from your old PC after you have successfully migrated your data.
