[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1556626, member: 46727"] When you migrate from a PC to your new Mac, there's really no way to avoid having a second user account to which the data will be moved. What you can do after the migration is completed and all your data from the PC has been copied, is then manually copy the data to the proper folders in the first account you setup on your Mac. After that is done, you should be able to remove the second account the migration assistant created. It sounds a bit complicated because you're new to the Mac platform but it's not. If you prefer, instead of using the migration assistant, use an external hard drive or flash drive formatted to FAT-32 to copy and move your data manually to the Mac. That might work better for you and perhaps less confusing. [/QUOTE]
