How to migrate KV Store to WiredTiger on 8.2.6?

I have three total servers in a Windows deployment.  A Splunk Search server, a Splunk Index server and a Splunk deploy server.  I would like to upgrade the KV Store but I'm not clear if I need to use the cluster implementation instructions or the single KV Store instructions. 

I am currently running 8.2.6 and upgraded a few months ago from 8.0.x.  When I run the command "start-shcluster-migration kvstore -storageEngine wiredTiger -isDryRun true", I get "Admin handler 'shclustercaptainkvstoremigrate' not found".   This is Step1 in a clustered KV Store setup.  If I try the REST API option, for Step 1, the command errors out because -d is listed twice in the command:

curl -k -u admin:changeme https://localhost:8089/services/shcluster/captain/kvmigrate/start -d storageEngine=wiredTiger -d isDryRun=true

Also in the single deployment instructions, you edit the server.conf file:

[kvstore]
storageEngineMigration=true

 I don't see this in the cluster implementation instructions unless I missed something.
