Windows 10: How to recover USMT.MIG files?

Friends,My laptop crashed and I reinstalled Windows. During the process, a USMT.MIG file was created on my external HDD with the data recovered from my Laptop. Now I want to recover this data. I don't have advanced knowledge of these things. I read few articles, but did not able to recover data. Can anybody tell me how to do this in detail, please?

MIG file - need to move

.mig files were created by Windows Easy Transfer or USMT.

Windows Easy Transfer was not included in Windows 10 and USMT is used to migrate large deployments in an enterprise setting. You can 'see' the .mig file in File Explorer but you can't do anything with it.

 

Unable to recover some files from USB backup - seems to be USMT and mig files involved

Hi,

My computer wasn't working so the only option left was to perform a system restore by backing up the files/apps/settings to a USB drive and resetting Windows. Once this backup/resetting process was complete, when I logged back a bunch of files weren't repopulated back and the USB drive contained a folder called Do_Not_Delete, which in turn had a folder called USMT. Inside this USMT folder there was a folder called migstore, which in turn had three folders, called apps, files, and settings, and a file called USMTBackupHistory.XML. Inside each of the apps, files, and and settings folders there exists a USMT.MIG files. I was able to check the USMT.MIG contained in files to find that it contained my Downloads folder, which had already been repopulated. However, the rest of my files in Documents, Pictures, and Music seemed to be missing. The interesting part is that the USMTBackupHistory.XML lists all the files that were transferred, and the files in Documents/Pictures/Music were included in these. It does say at the end that all (43227) items were transferred successfully to the USB drive. However those files don't appear on the USB drive themselves. If there's any way I could recover these files that would be helpful as it's about three years worth of files that I'm missing. Microsoft customer service has been unable to help at all.

After some research, I really think the problem has to do with OneDrive, but I'm not sure why. In the backup history, it seems that all files that didn't have /OneDrive/ in their path were successfully backed up to the USB drive, but all files that had /OneDrive/ were not able to be backed up.
