3. If the network is classified as a Public network during your PC set up, and you recognize and trust the network, you can
change its classification to a Private network and proceed with the migration. This can also be done from within Migrate.
4. If your network settings are set to Public on either of the PCs, a prompt is displayed to confirm you trust the network that
the PCs are connected to before proceeding further with the migration. If you recognize and trust the network that you
have connected to, click Trust Network to proceed with the migration. This changes the classification of that network to
Private. If this change is done by clicking Trust Network instead of manually through the Windows security options, this
setting reverts when Migrate is closed. In this case, the next time Migrate is opened, you are prompted to make the change
again.
