[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1758875, member: 83420"] Hi cbbob, A warm welcome to Mac-Forums. You can transfer all your pictures from your laptop and phones to a Mac. Although these can be stored anywhere you like on the Mac, the most obvious place in within Apple's native app (programme) called "Photos" - this replaced iPhoto some time ago and if, as I assume, you are buying a new or nearly new Mac, then "Photos" it will be. You cannot "transfer" windows programmes to your Mac. MS Office won't transfer, but your 365 subscription might/should if you contact MS and transfer your subscription licence. If you are buying a new Mac, then Apple's Extended Warranty (called AppleCare plus) is definitely recommended - by me anyway - it runs for 3 years. New Macs come with an automatic 12 month warranty (free). Whether you should pay $99 for transferring your pictures is up to you. Did this fee include moving other things? If so, what? I might have hoped that if you were buying a brand new Mac from an Apple Store, the transfer process would be done as a freewill gesture? We can help you along the way. Ian [/QUOTE]
