USB port does not migrate

[TxRoper]

Error message--does not migrate due to partial or ambiguous match." I have disabled and enabled the port. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the port. The driver is the latest one despite it being 6/21-2006 version 10.0. It will recognize a USB 3.0 thumb drive but nothing else. I have installed all latest updates from both HP and Windows.

Perhaps there is a problematic USB port, your USB drive may not work properly and Windows shows you the error “was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match”.

In this situation, you can try plugging the device into another port available in your system to have a check. Also, insert some other working USB devices or pen-drivers to make sure if the USB ports are working or not.

If the USB device doesn’t encounter the error, the problem is caused by the port. But if the USB drive is still not migrated, move on to troubleshoot the issue.

For USB hard drives, we get a comment from borncity.com and it says the error of device not migrated hard drive can be caused by a non-initialized new hard disk or a wrong formatted device. You should go to Device Manager to see if the disk is online or initialized and reformat the logical partitions. Next, assign a drive letter if necessary.

Perform the USB test and check.

1. Power off the PC and make sure that it is completely powered off.

2. Press the power button and the moment you press the power button immediately start tapping F2 key, you should see the system diagnostics screen.

3. Look for the component test, under that all the hardware will be listed, please choose USB and initiate the quick test.

Note: If it fails it will generate a 24 digits alphanumeric failure id, please capture that.

Your device could not be migrated since there is an incompatible device driver. So, you can try reinstalling it. Suppose your keyboard has the error:

Step 1: In Windows 10, right-click on the Start button to choose Device Manager.

Step 2: Find the device driver, right-click on it and choose Uninstall device.

Step 3: Click Uninstall, restart your PC, and then Windows will automatically reinstall the driver. Or get the latest driver from the website and install it.

Please update the BIOS and check.
