Windows 10: Migrate? -- what does it mean?

I apologize for asking, but I searched and it's not clear to me what "migrate" means...


For example, in Windows Log files such as 'setupapi.upgrade.log', I see entries like this:

set: {Migrate Device: HID\VID_04D9&PID_A070&MI_02\7&16D46DAF&0&0000} 22:06:58.64


Does that mean that the device driver from the existing Windows 10 installation was reused, or that a new device driver was installed.


This is a significant question, and a lot is riding on the answer, so I must ask that responders kindly not speculate. There are many, many articles that use the word, but I've not been able to suss out a clear meaning.


Warm Regards,

Mark.

What is the meaning of 'device could not be migrated' in device manager?

This is boiler plate reply to a question which has been around for a long time.

Is Microsoft unable to reply in plain English to a simple question.

It is obvious that many devices were not 'migrated' when computers were updated to windows 10 on Microsoft's insistence and do not work properly.

In my case it was a USB composite device. My work around when the USB ports no longer work is to uninstall the driver and restart the computer which re-installs the same driver supplied by Microsoft.

Surely Microsoft must know of this problem and that its replies are useless.
