Migrated wallets will need a new backup. If a wallet has watchonly stuff in it, a new watchonly descriptor wallet will be created containing those watchonly things. The related transactions, labels, and descriptors for those watchonly things will be removed from the original wallet. Migrated wallets will not have any of the legacy things be available for fetching from `getnewaddress` or `getrawchangeaddress`. Wallets that have private keys enabled will have newly generated descriptors. Wallets with private keys disabled will not have any active `ScriptPubKeyMan`s. For the basic HD wallet case of just generated keys, in addition to the standard descriptor wallet descriptors using the master key derived from the pre-existing hd seed, the migration will also create 3 descriptors for each HD chain in: a ranged combo external, a ranged combo internal, and a single key combo for the seed (the seed is a valid key that we can receive coins at!). The migrated wallet will then have newly generated descriptors as the active `ScriptPubKeyMan`s. This is equivalent to creating a new descriptor wallet and importing the 3 descriptors for each HD chain. For wallets containing non-HD keys, each key will have its own combo descriptor. There are also tests.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
