not classified as trusted within Windows on your new PC, a message is displayed to confirm your security settings. Perform
one of the following steps:
● Click Trust Network if you recognize and trust the network to proceed with the migration.
● Click Cancel if you do not trust the network. Reconnect to a network that you trust, and restart the process.
NOTE: If your network is already trusted, the message is not displayed.
