  You can still do this !!
  OLD stickys to Win10:
  If your Sticky notes are from a Windows prior to Win 10 v. 1607, you must ensure that the Sticky Notes App has NEVER been opened (If it has, reset it) and follow the instructions above.

  Win10 Sticky to Win10 Sticky:
  If your Sticky notes are from a Windows 10 v. 1607 or newer, you must ensure that the Sticky Notes App HAS been started and is now closed.
  Then you just copy %LocalAppData%PackagesMicrosoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalStateplum.sqlite from the old Windows to the new one..

  EhlerTechs new User Migration GUI for USMT handles sticky notes from Windows 7 and up to Windows 10.1803. They built this into their gui on our request!
  (And yes, we pay to use USMTGUI ;-)
