Hi @adilahmed ,

There are two other ways to migrate a custom list with its InfoPath form from SharePoint Server 2013 to SharePoint Server 2016 if you don't want to use database-attach method.

  • Export the list to a .cmp file via Central Administration -> Backup and Restore -> Export a site or list -> Select the List and Specify the destination for the export package -> Click Start Export.

    Then copy the .cmp file to your SharePoint 2016 server and run the below command on your SharePoint 2016 server.

    Import-SPWeb <site collection url> -Path <the location of .cmp file>

  • The Fast and proper way to move a list is moving it with a third party tool like ShareGate and etc. The advantage with the third party tools is that they are very simple, and they work well.
