On the next screen, click Let's get started to start the migration process. The Dell migrate process will begin to search

for your old PC on the network. The next step will take you through the device pairing for both the old and the new PCs.

● Applicable to both old and new PCs—Once both the PCs discover each other on the network, a 6 digit code will be

displayed on the old PC which needs to be entered on the new PC. This establishes a secured connection between the

two PCs for the migration process. You will see a success message once the code entered on the new PC matches the

code on the old PC.

NOTE:

The 6-digit code will be refreshed every 60 seconds until the pairing of both the PCs is completed. If you fail

to enter the correct pairing code five consecutive times, the migration process will be terminated for security

reasons. You will then need to close the Dell Data Assistant (on the old PC) and Dell Migrate (within SupportAssist)

(on the new PC) and then re-launch them to try again.

Now that the PCs are paired, you are ready to begin transferring your files and settings to your new PC. You can also

then erase your personal data off your old PC once you have successfully migrated your data.
