Migration
MSIX packages created for Windows versions prior to Windows 10 are incompatible with
migration. Check this page for more
details.
Migration is not compatible with MSIX packages build for neutral architecture.
When this store version is launched for the first time, you should automatically transfer previous user data from the desktop app. This is Microsoft's recommendation so users can seamlessly have everything in place.
Uninstall code
This is the actual Upgrade Code of your app.
User data folder
The subfolder containing your app's user data. Based on the following examples, choose one of the default Local or LocalLow folders:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\YourApp
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\YourApp
UI level
Set the UI level to determine the migration user experience.
- Ask user about data migration - moves the user data and uninstalls any previous versions by prompting every time.
- Automatically migrate user data - the same as above without any prompts.
The user should be notified that the migration process has been completed by using the Show notification option. No matter what the UI level is, the notification will appear.
