[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1740184, member: 46727"] We'll try to answer your questions the same way you asked: 1. You can transfer files and data by using the Migration Assistant located in your Applications, Utilities folder. Use an external hard drive to transfer data if you wish. It can be USB 2 or 3. Or you can use a Time Machine backup on an external drive along with the Migration Assistant. 2. MS Word documents should be no problem. Just copy them to the new machine or let the Migration Assistant do it. 3. If your MacBook Air is a 2015 model with El Capitan, it does not have the iPhoto.app, it should have the Photos.app instead. 4. Any good quality external optical drive will work. I use both a Samsung and LG with my iMac. I believe they were around $35 or less each. [/QUOTE]
