Install the Azure DevOps Migration Tools on Windows.

These tools are available as a portable application and can be installed in a number of ways, including manually from a zip. For a more detailed getting started guide please see the documentation.

Option 1: Winget

We use winget to host the tools, and you can use the command winget install nkdAgility.AzureDevOpsMigrationTools to install them on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The tools will be installed to %Localappdata%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\nkdAgility.AzureDevOpsMigrationTools_Microsoft.Winget.Source_XXXXXXXXXX and a symbolic link to devopsmigration.exe that lets you run it from anywhere using devopsmigration init.

NOTE: Do not install using an elevated command prompt!

Option 2: Chocolatey

We also deploy to Chocolatey and you can use the command choco install vsts-sync-migrator to install them on Windows Server.

The tools will be installed to C:\Tools\MigrationTools\ which should be added to the path. You can run devopsmigration.exe

Option 3: Manual

You can download the latest release and unzip it to a folder of your choice.

NOTE: You may need to ‘unlock’ the downloaded archive before you unzop and run. Go to the file properties (click show more options on Win11) and click Unblock.
