If your network settings are set to Private, migration proceeds automatically. If your settings are set to Public, then
migration might not proceed successfully. Ensure that the network you are connected to is one you recognize and trust, for
example, your home network. It is not recommended to migrate files and settings on networks that you do not recognize or
are not secure.
