Hi! I am a new Mac user (Mac Book Pro 13"). Old laptop is a Dell XPS 14".
I am not extremely techno savvy so I need some (easy!) advice and suggestions for dummies!
I backed-up my old Dell to my old external hard drive prior to booting up the new Mac. But my old EHD is apparently not Mac compatible, so I can't just move documents and photos to the Mac.
I am willing to purchase a new EHD, and it seems like there are some that are PC/Mac interchangeable. That would be great. I envision just putting all my stuff from the Dell onto it, then moving whatever I want to over to the Mac.
Does this sound like a reasonable plan?
f so, then I need a recommendation for an EHD that would work for both PC and Mac INTERCHANGEABLY, and without fuss. I don't know how to reformat and don't want to bother! I need SIMPLE and EASY.
Any assistance greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!
