[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1795769, member: 175845"] First off, I'd suggest getting an external drive and, a personal preference, using CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) to create a complete bootable clone of your current Mac. [url]https://bombich.com[/url] Then head off a do some googling on 'how to switch to a new mac' etc: [url]https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=how+to+switch+to+a+new+mac&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8[/url] Among the hits should be some sites like Apple's own: [url]https://support.apple.com/en-ca/ht204350[/url] One of the main successes for a switch over is to do it and follow the directions immediately after turning on the new Mac. DO NOT WAIT AND TRY DOING IT LATER ON. You'll be told to connect the old Mac or backup drive and then just follow directions and migrate all your data, settings and apps. The Migration will sort out what to migrate and leave the most current without duplications. Good luck. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
