The default gateway address is the address that a computer sends traffic to if it has no other route in its routing table. That would apply to most Internet addresses, so the default gateway is the device that sends traffic out to the Internet: the Internet router.
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows our private local network IPv4 addresses to be translated into a public IP address capable of connecting over the Internet. This can also be used with IPv6, due to security advantages, although it is less likely.
USMT captures user accounts, user files, operating system settings, and application settings, and then migrates them to a new Windows installation. You can use USMT for both PC replacement and PC refresh migrations.
