PC to Mac

[Postdust]

What is this best way to transfer files from PC to Mac. I have received a few suggestions but I thought I might reach out to y'all and get your opinions.

Copy files to USB drive on PC (Windows Explorer). Connect USB drive to Mac. Copy over using Mac Finder.

Email should be IMAP, so that is handled. Contacts >> export as CSV and import into Mac Mail (if you are using that).

Bookmarks from Chrome and FireFox can be straight exported / imported.

Files (documents, pictures, music) are just files... you will need the equivalent program to open / view them on a Mac (ie., Microsoft Word on PC ~= Microsoft Word on Mac).

Not sure if I am missing something in your question... but this should be dead simple. Unless you are doing dozens of systems, don't try to automate it... faster and simpler to do it manually.

Ok... Thank You. I think I was just over thinking it

yeah a little bit of over thinking. most stuff is compatible. but if you don't know you don't know. good luck

Apple also has a Migration Assistant for PC to Mac. Haven't used it myself.

Using Apple's Migration Assistant is great if there is a ton of stuff. As in 100's of gigs of pictures, etc. But it will not migrate iTunes. Email is also very iffy. It's nice because it's unattended. So I'll use it in those situations.

Otherwise is manual like @Mainstay described.
