Currently am working in sharepoint 2013 environment in which workflows are created based on both platforms sharepoint 2010 and sharepoint 2013
How to migrate workflows from sharepoint 2013workflows to 2019?.
I am currently looking into this issue and will give you an update as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
The migration scenario to the SharePoint Server 2019 has not changed. By far, there is not method available for direct migration from SharePoint 2013 to 2019. Hence, in order to migrate to SharePoint 2019 from SharePoint 2013, you need to upgrade your server the next latest version available i.e. SharePoint 2016, and then you can further upgrade to SharePoint 2019. Technically, your databases must be available in SharePoint Server 2016 RTM version or higher, when you are migrating to SharePoint Server 2019. Databases with any lower version will be locked and will not be able to upgrade.

When I am doing migration using SharePoint upgrade method, in this case platform type share point 2010 workflows are migrated from 2013 to 2019 environment. But the Platform type Sharepoint 2013 workflows are not migrated.
Can you suggest any workaround to migrate 2013 workflows?
To recreate all the workflows in the latest version of SharePoint 2016 On-Premise and SharePoint Online using the SharePoint Designer for 2013, as this version of SharePoint Designer still supports the latest version of SharePoint.
Steps for connecting SharePoint Designer 2013 to your SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint Online sites:
Step 1:
Open the SharePoint Designer 2013 and click on “Open Site” option as below.
Step 2:
On the prompted window, you need to provide your SharePoint 2016 or SharePoint Online Site URL as below.
Step 3:
After login into your site, you should be able to see the information on the first tab. You can use left navigation “Site Objects” to explore more about your site in SharePoint Designer.
Step 4:
Click on the ‘Workflows’ under ‘Site Objects’ in left pane, here you can create either list workflow (or) site workflow similar to your existing workflow in older version of SharePoint.
However, there are a few limitations with SharePoint Designer Workflow (created using SharePoint Designer for SharePoint 2013) in SharePoint 2016 / SharePoint Online.
