Moving data from a Windows PC to a Mac is now easier than ever with the latest update to the Migration Assistant in <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/?s=Mojave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">macOS Mojave<\/a>. In this post, we&#8217;ll show you the steps to take for a flawless migration from Windows to macOS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparing to Migrate Data<\/strong><br \/>\nFirst, make sure that your PC isn&#8217;t so old that it can&#8217;t run Windows Migration Assistant.&nbsp;It works with Windows 7, which first appeared in 2009, and all newer versions of Windows including Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>Next, make sure that you know the name and password of an administrator account on the PC. This is important as the Windows Migration Assistant requires administrative access to certain files on the PC.<\/p>\n<p>Both the PC and the Mac need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, or if you prefer you can run an Ethernet cable between the ports on the PC and Mac for a direct connection. Since newer Mac laptops do not have an Ethernet port, you may need to purchase an adapter like the <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/Macally\/UCGB\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Macally USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter<\/a>&nbsp;or <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/Apple\/MD463LLAU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Genuine Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now you&#8217;ll want to make sure that your Windows drive on the PC doesn&#8217;t have any issues. To do this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)<\/strong> Choose Start &gt; Run<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> In the Run window, type cmd and press Enter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> In the command window, type chkdsk and press Enter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)<\/strong> The chkdsk utility may report that it found problems. In that case, type chkdsk <em>drive:<\/em> \/F and press Enter. &#8220;<em>drive:<\/em>&#8221; is the Windows startup disk, like &#8220;c:&#8221; or &#8220;d:&#8221;.&nbsp;At the prompt that appears, press the Y key, then restart your PC. This process might need to be repeated until chkdsk reports no issues. If you can&#8217;t clear those chkdsk issues, your PC might need service before you migrate data to the Mac.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Migrating Data from PC to Mac<\/strong><br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll need to download and install the Windows Migration Assistant to your PC. There are currently three different versions of the Windows Migration Assistant, each for a different version or versions of macOS \/ OS X.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re running macOS Mojave, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/DL1978\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">download this version of Windows Migration Assistant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For macOS Sierra and High Sierra, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/DL1913\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">download this version<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Still running OS X El Capitan or earlier versions of OS X? <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/DL1896\">Download this version<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Windows Migration Assistant is installed on your PC, it&#8217;s time to get started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)<\/strong> Quit any open Windows apps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> Launch Windows Migration Assistant. A welcome screen appears (see screenshot below).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53306\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53306\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53306 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome.jpg\" alt=\"(The welcome screen for Windows Migration Assistant)\" width=\"640\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome-194x120.jpg 194w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome-284x176.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome-190x118.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome-364x225.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome-194x120@2x.jpg 388w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome-284x176@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantWelcome-190x118@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(The welcome screen for Windows Migration Assistant)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> Click Continue to begin the process.

If it&#8217;s a brand new Mac and has never been started before, Setup Assistant automatically launches on the Mac. If you&#8217;ve already set up the Mac, go to Applications &gt; Utilities and launch the Migration Assistant on the Mac.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5)<\/strong> In Migration Assistant on the Mac, go through the onscreen prompts until you&#8217;re asked how you want to transfer your information (see screenshot below). Select &#8220;From a Windows PC&#8221;, then click Continue. When prompted, enter the administrator name and password.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53307\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53307\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53307 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantTransfer.jpg\" alt=\"(Select &quot;From a Windows PC&quot; on the Migration Assistant screen)\" width=\"640\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantTransfer.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantTransfer-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantTransfer-284x213.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantTransfer-190x143.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantTransfer-160x120@2x.jpg 320w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantTransfer-284x213@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/MigrationAssistantTransfer-190x143@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53307\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Select &#8220;From a Windows PC&#8221; on the Migration Assistant screen)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>6)<\/strong> Click Continue, and all other open apps will be closed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7)<\/strong> On the migration window on the Mac, a list of available computers appears.

When the migration is complete, quit Windows Migration Assistant on the PC, then log into the new user account on your Mac. You&#8217;ll be asked to set a password for your new Mac account.<\/p>\n<p>After logging into the Mac, remember to authorize your Mac in iTunes so you can play content downloaded from the iTunes Store, and remember to log into iCloud as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Data is Transferred?<\/strong><br \/>\nA surprising amount of the data on a PC can be transferred to your Mac. For many business PC users, it&#8217;s important to know that transfers from Outlook are&nbsp;only supported for 32-bit versions of Outlook, as Migration Assistant doesn&#8217;t support the 64-bit versions. Outlook users can also run the app on Mac (as part of Microsoft Office for Mac) and connect to the same servers for access to their contacts, calendar, and so on.
