Figure 40. PCs not connected to same network on your old PC
In addition to being on the same network, you must also be on a trusted network. This allows your old and new PCs to be
discoverable and communicate. If you are not on a trusted network, you receive a prompt and will be given the option to trust
the network. It is recommended to click Trust Network only if you recognize and trust the network. If you do not recognize the
network, it is highly recommended you switch to a known, secure network.

Operating System Check
This checks if the operating system is compatible with Dell Migrate (Windows 8.1 and above for the old PC and Windows 10 for
the new PC). If the old and the new PCs are not using supported Windows versions, the migrate software prompts the user to
upgrade to a newer version of Windows OS. For more information, see Unsupported Windows version on page 28.
