Apple Migrate From Windows To Mac App

12.09.2020by

Apple has a tool that’s built inside every Mac to help Windows users migrate much of their most important data over to the new platform when they decide to upgrade to a far more secure and more robust macOS system.

Windows Migration Assistant is software that’s built inside every Mac. It works with Windows XP and later and. will install lots of stuff from your PC to your Mac, including desktop background, any e-mail accounts, contacts, bookmarks, iTunes music and other data.

There are some limits on some Windows installations which means the information Apple can bring across is dependent on which version of Windows you are running.

Here is Apple’s list of what it will migrate.

1.Back-up before you begin

Before you migrate to your new Mac, you should make sure you back-up all the data from your Windows system, ideally to an external hard drive. Most Windows users I speak to recommend using something like Cobian Backup or FBackup for this process. Both of these applications are free. You may want to take the precaution of exporting all your contacts data to iCloud online.

  1. It works more like Mail, while Windows 10’s built in Windows Mail app is more cloud based. With Windows Mail, there are no options to migrate messages except if you already have an account setup.
  2. Jan 09, 2019  Apple is never, ever going to port its macOS or iOS apps to Windows 10. I can only hope I live to see the day when I have to eat my own words. That said, if you have an iPhone and you use Notes on it so extensively that you need to access on a Windows 10 PC, your only option is.

2. Update the software on both computers

From

Oct 08, 2019  With its Catalyst SDK, Apple seems more focused on courting iPad apps for the Mac than Windows apps. Speaking of the iPad, the iPad Pro could prove a forerunner of a future ARM-based Mac. Apple will still offer Intel-based MacBooks and desktop Mac products for the next two years as it transitions to the Apple Silicon. With control over the entire hardware and software design, Apple should be able to close any performance gap with mainstream Intel processors quickly while doing what it does best — offering a great user experience.

Now you’ve backed up your data you should launch both your new Mac and your Windows machine and make sure they are both on the same network (wired or wireless). You should also make sure to update both computers to the latest OS version available to them. (Apple Menu>About this Mac>Software Update).

3. Download Migration Assistant to your PC

You must download and install the Windows Migration Assistant.

  • Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Sierra or later
  • Windows Migration Assistant for OS X El Capitan or earlier
  • A new version of the software is expected for macOS Mojave

Once installed, open the software and tap Continue.

You then select what information you want to bring across — you’ll see a box with checkboxes beside each information type.

Once you’ve done so, tap Continue and the process will complete.

Enjoy your Mac!

Microsoft is attempting to make it easier for Mac users to 'switch' over to Windows by creating a new tool, with the 'Mac to Surface Assistant' said to help transfer the user's files from their Mac to the company's Windows tablet.

Spotted by Twitter user WalkingCat, the migration tool is relatively simple to use and has a single purpose. After agreeing to an end user license agreement, users are able to select specific folders they would want to transfer over to the Surface, including their photographs, music, and other personal documents.

Once folders are chosen, users then set the destination for the file archive, before transferring the resulting Zip file to an external drive, and transferring the data to the Surface.

Offering a migration assistant to new users is not a new concept, though the ability to store files within cloud-connected apps or using cloud storage services has lessened the need for such tools over time. Apple itself already provides its own migration tools, for moving data from Windows to Mac, and from Android to iOS for new iPhone and iPad owners.

Microsoft has previously offered Surface users guidance on switching over, with an online guide advising on ways to transfer data to its Windows tablet line. While it is available to download, Microsoft has not promoted the tool, and the switching guide does not yet mention its availability.

In December, Microsoft was bullish on the popularity of its Surface range, proclaiming more users were switching from Macs to Surface than ever before. Despite the bold claim, and earlier earnings report touting revenue growth for Surface products, Microsoft declined to share sales figures for its hybrid notebook tablet collection.
