Difference between 「移行」and 「移動」
I believe that the following might be helpful, although I could be 100% wrong
in my assessment on the word meanings from looking at what similar words were
defined as.

> 「移行」refers to movement or action over a period of time or state of change,
>
> while 「移動」refers to or has something to do with physical movement.

I'm not very confident in my own assessment though, seeing as how I'm not very
fluent in Japanese. I got the above possible meanings from typing 移行
and「移動」into <https://jisho.org/search/> then figuring out what each individual
search result had in common with other suggested definitions from that
particular search.

移動 basically refers to physical movements.  
移行 means changing to new system, to new stage, to another state. Or you also
use 移行 when something metaphysical moves (e.g. popularity, interest, point of
discussion...)

So if I translate, it would be

> 移動 = to move  
>  移行 = transition, shift

The typical usages for 移行 are

> 新制度に移行する  
>  (=change to new system)
>
> 私の会社はWindowsからMacに移行した。  
>  (=The company I work in stopped using Windows and start using Mac.)  
>
>
> 若者たちの興味は、クレープからパンケーキに移行しつつある。  
>  (=What young people are interested in is shifting from crepes to pancakes.)

移動 is a very basic word for "movement".

> イタリアからフランスへ飛行機で移動する  
>  (=go to France from Italy by plane)  
>
>
> ここは危険なので、早くここから移動しましょう。  
>  (=It's dangerous here so let's leave here soon.)
>
> ファイルをデスクトップ・フォルダに移動する  
>  (=move a file to Desktop folder)
