Properly capitalize "Migrate To Version";  seems we always had that
wrong.
Actually, shouldn't that be "Migrate to Version"?

I was wondering about that.  Because "to" is not before a verb, like "to
run", it seems it should be capitalized:

I think you're misinterpreting that. "To", as in "migrate to version", is a preposition. Therefore it should *not* be capitalized, per the "don't capitalize prepositions shorter than 4 characters" rule. The "to before a verb" rule refers to infinitives, like in "to run", where the "to" is not a preposition, so it basically says that "to" should never be capitalized, whether it's used as a preposition or as a particle.

Just my two pence, I certainly don't claim to be an expert in English grammar ;-)...
