When I run the following command in package manage console(VS 2019). I get the following error.
Add-Migration InitialMigration
The name 'InitialMigration' is used by an existing migration.

The migration name must be unique. Clearly, there is already a migration named "InitialMigration". As the error clearly states you must use a unique migration name.
Since you moved the code to a new machine, you need to decide if you are plan to use the same database or create a new database. Generally, a local DB when learning EF Core and in some cases development. All you have to do is update the database connection
string to point to the server where you want the database created. Next enter Update-Database in the package manager to create the database using the existing migration found in the project.

many thanks. Update-Database InitialMigration worked.
