What happens when I transfer an old Mac to a new Mac?
If you transfer an account that has the same name as an account on your new Mac, you’re asked to rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you rename, the old account appears as a separate user on your new Mac, with a separate home folder and login.
Can you transfer apps from one Mac to another MAC?
Any applications you bought or downloaded from the Mac App Store will work, though you may need to enter your Apple ID again the first time you launch them. Commercial applications installed outside the Mac App Store, like Microsoft Office, will make the jump from one Mac to another, but you’ll probably need to re-activate them.
How do I move my files from my PC to my new Mac?
Migration Assistant copies all of your files to your new Mac so that you don’t have to copy your files manually. If your files are currently on a Windows PC, follow the PC migration steps instead.

How long does it take to move files from one Mac to another?
Uncheck anything you don’t want, then click “Continue” to begin the migration process. Depending on how many files you’re moving, this might take a while. Mine took about six hours; yours might take even longer. I suggest you let it run overnight.
