    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    You can refer to this document and microsoft support blog for steps.

    I will still show you the detailed steps about migrate websites via GUI.

    1. Install web deploy 3.6 on Web PI. Search in Web PI and install it. It may reports install fail but you don't need to worry about it, just some components of sql and they will not affect web deploy. web deploy
    2. Choose the site you want to migrate. Right click it and choose the Export Application... 129483-3.jpg
    3. Click (no need to change any settings) until it reminds you to set package path. Select the folder you want to store .zip file and name the .zip file. Then click . nextnext 129455-4.jpg

    5. Move the .zip file to new server. Choose the new empty site on IIS(new server also need to install web deploy) and righ click to . import application 129417-5.jpg
    6. Click and no need to change any settings. next
    7. Enter the site name when it reminds you to enter application information. 129425-6.jpg
    8. Still click until it shows that install successfully. next
    9. Then you will find the site on new IIS.
