Windows 10 MIGWIZ errors going from 7 to 10

Skynotempty · Dec 18, 2019

I used windows 7's easy transfer to save all my files
(PC was Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit)
Upgraded to a Win 10 pc
Used migwiz (usmt 3( with zero results)
Using usmt 4, I got this:

Aside from the word "might" spelled wrong, I get tons of errors.
I have the migwiz utility, and all related files in the G directory. The same for the saved data file, named SaveData.MIG

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MIG files are not portable between OS versions if you use the old version to create the MIG file.
To transfer files from Windows 7 to Windows 10 you would need to use USMT 10 on the Windows 7 machine first to create the MIG andthen USMT 10 on Windows 10 to restore them.

I would grab a Windows 7 ISO and create a Windows 7 VM, then restore your files to the VM. From there you can allow VM to host communication and just transfer the files.

I know nothing of ISO and VM
So I'm screwed
So much for easy transfer
