[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1615368, member: 51635"] Your NAS box, you would just copy your entire Windows profile to it. Then you can simply download it to your Mac, folder by folder. As far as "exactly" where to copy them.. OK, you want to pay close attention. You might want to grab a pen, paper, and your seat. The C:\Users\whoever\Desktop\ contents go to... watch closely.. /Users/whoever/Desktop The C:\Users\whoever\Documents\ contents goes to.. this may be a shock, but.. /Users/whoever/Documents If I'm going too fast let me know. I can break this up into multiple posts if needed. /sarcasm off This is what you do. Just copy the files from "Users\whoever\<folder>" to "/Users/whoever/<folder>." As I said earlier on Windows they have a Videos folder, which OS X calls Movies. Same difference. You don't care about hidden files since OS X can't use them. All you care about is the core contents of said folders. If OS X has no equivalent (ie. 'Links') then don't bother copying it since OS X can't use it. [/QUOTE]
