  2. Restoring a Windows Easy Transfer .mig file to Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you faced. I will certainly help you with this.

    Restoring a .MIG file using Windows Easy Transfer won’t work from an x64 to an x86 Operating system.

    Download USMT4 MigRecover Utility
    here
    and follow the below steps:

    • Download the MigRecover Utility for USMT4 from one of the links above
    • Extract the downloaded archive to a desired location
    • Start by renaming the .MIG file to SaveData.MIG
    • Create a destination folder for the extracted “raw” files
    • Open an elevated command prompt (right-click – Run as Administrator)
    • Browse to the desired folder location containing “MigRecover.exe”
    • Type the following command: MigRecover.exe [.MIG file location] [Destination folder].

    As Easy Transfer is not available in Windows 10, I suggest you to try recovering your files from Windows.old folder. As upgrading from Windows create a Windows.old folder in the drive where operating system resides.

    I suggest you to refer to the below given Windows article and check if it helps:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-10/windows-easy-transfer-is-not-available-in-windows-10

    Refer to the suggestions provided by Andre Da Costa June 19, 2015 in the following link:

    How to manually backup and restore your files

    Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

    Thank you.

    Trying to restore backup (.MIG file) in Windows 10

    Didn't realize that .MIG files created by Easy Transfer in Widows 7 won't be usable in Windows 10, and I am stuck.

    Can't restore anything from my old laptop, since I did a fresh install. And in turn was necessitated because Windows 10 refused to install as an upgrade over Windows 7. Kept crashing with a message "Something went wrong, please run setup.exe again".

    And now this .MIG file problem, what a bummer indeed. And zinstall does not work on .MIG files. Any suggestions?

    MIG file problem

    How do I open/view MIG files created by Windows 7 when I currently have Windows 10 on my desktop? Information was lost when Windows 10 was updated onto my desktop and I want to see if I can restore some of the data by looking at and/or copying the data
    from the Windows 7 .MIG files.
