Let's start with mentioning WHAT you want to migrate.
Specs, details, everything you can tell us of the pc hardware.

Just trying to get this figured out for the kids who gave up. Not sure where to start.

This was a "Prometheus" box that was purchased loaded with kodi.

Are you trying to update (via tar file) or do a clean reinstall of the OS?

It was believed that openelec wasn’t going to update, so they were going to try and upload libreelec via tar file.

Make a backup and move it off-box. Clean install LE. Selectively restore thumbnails, DB files and config xmls from the backup. Do not simply restore the backup else you also restore a ton of crap that isn't required.

How do I get past the initial booting kernal failed screen?

BTW, it's kernel, not kernal.
If it's an OpenELEC based device, the system partition size is likely too small for LibreELEC now.
If (for whatever reason) the box doesn't allow for the storage drive to be re-partitioned, you will now have an additional book end on your shelf.
