And there are cases mentioned, where driver could not migrated.Īfterward I inspected a Windows 10 test machine that has been used for a while, and I found for each driver the "Device migrated" message in events.
I found an old Microsoft document dealing with Windows Vista, where Microsoft discusses, how to migrate PnP drivers from Windows XP to Windows Vista.Įven, if this description is based on Windows Vista, I guess we may assume that Windows 10 setup uses similar approaches. Obviously something went wrong during this process. That brought me to the conclusion, that this error has something to do, how drivers are migrated from old Windows to Windows 10. Inspecting device manager's tab Events from a fresh installed Windows 10 in a VM doesn't shows this notification (see screenshot below).Īnd on machines with this device issue we will see the message 'Device not migrated', as it is shown in the screenshot below.
There is a notification, that the device has been migrated successfully. The screenshot above shows the Event tab of a device on my German Windows 10. Loading a driver requires several steps, that will be reported on device manager's event tab.įirst I have had a look at one of my Windows 10 test machines running since several months (it has been updated from Version 1511 to Version 1607, as far as I remember). So I tried to find an explanation by myself. What does 'Device not migrated' means?Īfter I came across this issue, I'm asking me, what this error message means? But I hasn't found an explanation on Microsoft's web sites so far. It seems that all systems are upgrades to Windows 10 so far. PCI and Realtek WiFi drivers don't work after Win10 upgrade.What is the meaning of 'device could not be migrated' in device manager?.
Something went terrible wrong during driver installation.
This error code stands for STATUS_CONTEXT_MISMATCH, the context doesn't match with the destination. Some users are reporting also error 0xC0000719. Checking the device's properties (open device manager and double click the device branch) shows the message 'Device not migrated' on Events tab.
This issue has been observed from many users after upgrading to Windows 10.
