[QUOTE="Doug4907, post: 1951275, member: 424888"] I looked for this issue, but I can't find the answer. So sorry if it has been dealt with. My history has been MSDOS, then Windows for decades. I have become very dissatisfied with the way Windows is going. So after many decades I bought myself a Mac Studio. The screen messages told me many things, first it successfully connected to my home wifi and it updated to MacOS Sequoia 15.5. At this stage all I see on the screen are various text messages which one by one I try to deal with. Then the first block occurred. There was an unexpected question of whether I would like to transfer (some) info from my Windows PC. I thought, "What can that hurt?". So I clicked on Yes. It immediately found my Windows PC (on the same home wifi), and displayed its name, and then it asked me for my PC's password. Now this is a simple 4 digit number (my PC is only ever operated by me in a house in which there is only me and my wife.) So, I inputted the 4-digit number, which was rejected by the Mac Studio. I now have no idea what to do. Whatever other password could it be seeking? Some background which may be useful to anyone that may help me, my PC is a Gen 12 Intel, running the latest Windows 11 Pro OS. The Mac Studio and the Windows PC are on the same wifi network. I have a good working knowledge of Windows, but I am totally new to Apple (I do have a newish Apple phone, Apple iPad and Apple watch. Oh and I am almost 80 yo, my body hardly works anyone more, but my brain is, so far, OK. But at 80 yo, I do feel the need to progress things while I still can. Summary, [LIST] [*] I have the question regarding what password is needed??? [*]AND is there any manual to guide me through the setup of an entirely new Mac Studio. There is none at all within all the packages. I am disappointed that I have sat through many basic Mac text screens asking me to do exercises with CTRL, Command, Shift, Space keys, but I still don't seem to be even into the OS, etc. If there is a payware manual then that's OK. Can anyone send me a URL to such instructions, etc? [*]And lastly, I can image these newby questions can be tiring, but pls, I am asking for help. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
