Jan 18, 2018 Note: The operation of migrating OS to SSD or HDD will delete and remove existing partitions and data on your target disk when there is not enough unallocated space on the target disk. If you saved important data there, back up them to an external hard drive in advance. Select 'Migrate OS' from the top menu. If your old Mac isn't using OS X Lion or later, and your new Mac isn't using OS X Mavericks or later, follow the Mountain Lion migration steps instead. If both computers are using macOS Sierra or later, place them near each other with Wi-Fi turned on. If either one is using OS X El Capitan or earlier, make sure that both are on the same network. Although Spaces was a new feature for Mac OS X 10.5, virtual desktops existed for quite some time on other platforms, such as Linux, Solaris, AIX and BeOS. Virtual desktops also existed for Windows 2 and for Mac OS X via third party software., 3 and it has been a standard feature on Linux desktops for a number of years. Delete unnecessary files in /System/Library for Mac OS X. Can I delete /System folders in Time Machine backups to save space? On OS X El Capitan, what is the difference between /Library/ and /System/Library/? Is it safe to delete the content of /Library/Logs?

Migration Assistant copies all of your files from your old Mac to your new Mac so that you don't have to copy them manually.

• If your files are currently on a PC, follow the PC migration steps instead.
• If you're moving content from a Time Machine backup, follow the steps to restore your Mac from a backup instead.

Get ready

1. Install all available software updates on both computers. If your old Mac isn't using OS X Lion or later, and your new Mac isn't using OS X Mavericks or later, follow the Mountain Lion migration steps instead.
2. If both computers are using macOS Sierra or later, place them near each other with Wi-Fi turned on. If either one is using OS X El Capitan or earlier, make sure that both are on the same network.
3. On your old Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Sharing. Make sure that a name appears in the Computer Name field.

Use Migration Assistant

You're now ready to use Migration Assistant to move your files from the old Mac to the new one.

On your new Mac

1. Open Migration Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Then click Continue.
2. When asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option to transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup, or startup disk. Then click Continue.
   

On your old Mac

1. Open Migration Assistant, then click Continue.
2. When asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option to transfer to another Mac. Then click Continue.

On your new Mac

When asked to select a Mac, Time Machine backup, or other startup disk, select the other Mac. Then click Continue.

On your old Mac

If you see a security code, make sure that it's the same code shown on your new Mac. Then click Continue.

On your new Mac

1. Select the information to transfer.
   In this example, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If it has the same name as an account already on your new Mac, you're prompted to either rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you rename, the old account will appear as a separate user on your new Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account will delete and then replace the account on your new Mac, including everything in its home folder.
2. Click Continue to start the transfer. Large transfers might need several hours to complete.
3. After Migration Assistant is done, log in to the migrated account on your new Mac to see its files.

If you're not keeping your old Mac, learn what to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your old Mac.
