How to sync ALL messages from a Lumia 1520 running Windows 8.1 to a Lumia 950XL Windows 10

[Windows Central Question]

4 days ago, I got a Lumia 950 XL coming from a Lumia 1520. Since getting it, it looks beautiful. It works beautifully EXCEPT syncing past info. I had some huge issues syncing contacts but finally figured that out by deleting my accounts and then readding them. However, one thing that has yet to sync are my text messages. They synced a few text messages that are two years old, but everything in between is still missing. How to get all of my text messages to sync? I've tried to use "Transfer my Data" but it did not work. What is the solution? Has any one else experienced this?

Search for contacts+message backup in the store, save to sd card and transfer to new phone. Or wait for the native message sync to eventually work. Always good to have a backup though. contacts+message backup contacts+message backup https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...ackup%2F9nblgggz57gm%3Frtc%3D1&token=TZf1CMuh

This might sound weird but, sometimes, I turn message sync off and on to force sync. This toggle is available under settings in the Messaging app.
