Windows Migration Assistant transfers your contacts, calendars, email accounts and more from a PC. It migrates this data to the appropriate places on your Mac. After migrating data to your Mac, authorise your computer to make iTunes Store purchases. It’s important to authorise this before you sync or play content you download from the iTunes Store.

Microsoft would prefer both Mac and Windows users of Office to move to the online version, Office 365, but it’s still entirely up to you. In fact, you can already use some Microsoft Office.

If you're migrating from one Mac to another Mac, follow the steps to move your content to a new Mac.

Before you begin

To prepare for a smooth migration:

  • Make sure Windows is up to date. Migration Assistant works with Windows 7 and later.
  • Make sure you know the name and password of an administrator account on your PC.
  • Connect your Mac and PC to the same network, such as your home Wi-Fi network. Or connect an Ethernet cable between the ports on your Mac and PC to create a direct network connection. Some Mac models require an Ethernet adapter, such as the Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter or Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
  • If you're using Microsoft OneDrive on your PC, follow Microsoft's instructions for uninstalling OneDrive before continuing. You can reinstall OneDrive after the migration has finished.

Then use the check disk (chkdsk) utility on your PC to make sure your Windows hard drive doesn’t have any issues:

  1. Right-click the Start button, then click Run.
  2. Type cmd and press Enter. Command Prompt opens.
  3. At the prompt, type chkdsk and press Enter.
  4. If the utility reports that it has found problems, type the following, where drive is the letter that represents your Windows startup disk, such as D:
  5. Press Enter.
  6. At the prompt, type Y, then restart your PC.
  7. Repeat this process until the check disk utility is not reporting any issues. If the utility can't fix every issue it has found, you may need to get your PC serviced. Then migrate your data to your Mac.

Can I Move My Microsoft Office To A New Mac

How to move your information from a PC to your Mac

  1. On your PC, download and install the appropriate Windows Migration Assistant, based on the version of macOS on your Mac:
    • Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Big Sur
    • Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Mojave and macOS Catalina
    • Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Sierra and High Sierra
    • Windows Migration Assistant for OS X El Capitan or earlier
  2. Quit any open Windows apps.
  3. Open Windows Migration Assistant, then click Continue.
  4. Start up your Mac. Setup Assistant will open automatically the first time you turn on your Mac. If you’ve already set up your Mac, open Migration Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
  5. On your Mac, follow the onscreen prompts until you get to the migration pane of the assistant. Select the option to transfer your information 'From a Windows PC', then click Continue.
  6. When prompted, enter an administrator name and password.
  7. Click Continue to close any other open apps.
  8. In the migration window on your Mac, select your PC from the list of available computers. Then wait for the PC to display the same passcode that your Mac is displaying.
  9. When both computers display the same passcode, click Continue on your PC and Mac.
  10. Your Mac will scan the drives on your PC to build a list of information to migrate. When the scan has finished, select the information you want to migrate to your Mac and click Continue. Find out about some of the types of data you can transfer.

You can watch the progress and estimated time remaining on both the PC and your Mac. They tell you when the migration has finished.

After you've moved your data

When the migration has finished, close Windows Migration Assistant on your PC. Then log in to the new user account on your Mac. The first time you log in to a user account migrated from your PC, you’ll be asked to set a password. You can use the same password that you used on your PC or create a new password.

After logging in to the user account that you've migrated, authorise your computer for iTunes Store purchases. It’s important to authorise this before you sync or play content downloaded from the iTunes Store.

If you experience any issues when moving your data

  • Quit all open apps on your PC, then try migrating your content again. For example, you can press Alt-Tab to choose an open application, then press Alt-F4 to quit it.
  • If your PC doesn't appear in the Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant window on your Mac, make sure the computers are connected to the same network. You can create a network by connecting a single Ethernet cable between your Mac and PC. If that doesn't help, check for firewall software on your PC and turn it off. After the migration has finished, you can turn firewall software on again.
  • If Migration Assistant doesn’t open on your PC, turn off any antivirus software on your PC. Then try to open Migration Assistant again. After the migration has finished. You can turn that software on again.
  • If you still can't migrate your information successfully, you can use an external drive or file sharing to copy important data to your Mac manually.

What data can I transfer?

Migration Assistant lets you choose the data to move to your Mac. Here’s what is moved over for specific apps and data types:

Emails, contacts and calendar information
Email messages, email account settings, contacts and appointments are moved based on which version of Windows you're using and which accounts you have.

Outlook1
Data from 32-bit versions of Outlook in Windows 7 and later are moved as follows:

  • People are moved to Contacts2
  • Appointments are moved to the Calendar app
  • IMAP and Exchange settings and messages are moved to the Mail app
  • POP settings and messages are moved to Mail2

Windows Live Mail
Data from Windows Live Mail in Windows 7 and later are moved as follows:

  • IMAP settings and messages are moved to Mail
  • POP settings and messages are moved to Mail2

Windows Mail
Data from Windows Mail in Windows 7 and later (excluding Windows 8) are moved as follows:

  • IMAP settings and messages are moved to Mail
  • POP settings and messages are moved to Mail2
  • People are moved to Contacts

Bookmarks
Bookmarks from Internet Explorer, Safari for Windows and Firefox are moved to Safari.

System settings
Language and location settings, and custom desktop pictures are moved to System Preferences. Your web browser homepage is moved to Safari preferences.

Pictures
Photos and other images are moved to your home folder. You can then add them to Photos, or open Photos and let it search your Mac for photos to import.

iTunes content
Migration Assistant transfers your iTunes media as follows: music is moved to the Apple Music app, videos are moved to the Apple TV app, podcasts are moved to the Apple Podcasts app and audiobooks are moved to the Apple Books app.

Other files
Migration Assistant also moves these files:

Can I Move My Microsoft Office To A New Machine

  • Files from the top-level folder of the currently logged-in user’s home directory
  • Non-system files located in the Windows or Program Files folders
  • Top-level folders located on the Windows system disk and other attached disks

1. Migration Assistant doesn’t support 64-bit versions of Outlook. You can migrate Mail, Contacts or Calendars from Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016 manually by signing in and entering the content on your Mac manually.

2. Migration Assistant only transfers the Mail or Contacts data that belongs to the logged-in Windows user. To transfer data from another user account, use Migration Assistant again while you’re logged in to another Windows account. Every time you migrate, your Mac creates a new user account.

I've recently bought a new Macbook Air.
I use to have a Macbook (white version early 2009) When I first got my mac, I bought the whole microsoft series.
Now I want to see if I can transfer word (I'm not too bothered about the rest) over to my new macbook air.
When I purchase Microsoft office 2008 it was 3 discs and I used one 'go' and sold the other 2. My boyfriend does have the discs, but this is useless for my Air.
Only other thing is I've transferred everything over to my air (I did it manuallay with a usb as I wanted a sort out of photos, music etc, so didn't do migration assistant or whatever it's called.)
If I use migration assistant will it take off all the stuff I've already sorted on my Air? Because I haven't backed it up. I have icloud for my pages documents and itunes match but thats as far as I go.
My operating system is Mac OS X 10.7
I'm not THAT great with macs, only the basics.
Any help would be appreciated:)

Can I Move My Microsoft Office To A New Mac Laptop

If your own MacBook's optical drive works you can use its drive to install software. Start up the MacBook and turn on CD/DVD Sharing (open System Preferences and select the Sharing tab). Put the disk in the MacBook then start up the MacBook Air open a window and down near the bottom under Devices you should see Remote Disc. Open it.
If this doesn't work you can use Migration Assistant to copy all your applications - you can't pick which ones. You'll have to reactivate Office. You don't have to select any of your data for migration.

  • how can I transfer microsoft office from macbook pro to macbook air?

    Assuming you have the 2011 version the easiest way is go to Microsoft's Web site and download Mac Office 2011 onto your MacBook Air and then run it. If you have the 2008 (or the 2011) version on disc you can turn on DVD sharing in the Sharing control panel of your MBP and install it by remotely sharing your MBP's DVD.
    Since Microsoft uses activation when you start Office on the new computer if you use the same activation code as you used on the MBP you'll probably get a message to call Microsoft. Do so and just explain that you got a new computer.

  • I recently brought a new HP laptop and downloaded iTunes 11 on it. My old laptop which is a Acer has iTunes version 10.7, I believe. I wanted to know, How can I transfer 18 movies from the old iTunes onto my new Itunes? It only shows the most recent two movies when I look at the purchases in my account. I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.

    you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
    the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
    it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
    Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
    you should have all intact.
    Post if any problems.

  • How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old Laptop to my new laptop?

    You have to deactivate and uninstall on the old system and then reinstall on the new system. Whether it works depends on the Acrobat version (looks like you indicated AAX) and OS. You need to be sure to update after the new install. Just transferring files like you imply you want to do is not possible with almost any modern software. The software not only loads files, but sets all sorts of registry entries that would take a lot of time to find. In the past there were some programs that supposedly tried to move programs, but I have not seen mention of one in years.

  • how can i transfer my deta from my old iphone to me new one withat wifi

    Backing up the old iPhone with iTunes and restoring to the new one is a good solution. However, if you have difficulties in doing so, you can transfer the data from the old iPhone to the new one directly with the help of iPhone PC Suite or MobileTrans.

    Export playlists from iOS - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1113751
    A playlist is, of course, just a listing of music tracks, or did you want to copy the music too? You do not transfer that from iPod to iPod, you synch the iPod to the same library used with the first one.

  • My original hard drive was replaced due tom multiple errors. Before it crashed completely, I installed a new hard drive and slaved the old one to allow me to access the data and transfer it to the new one. I did not backup the bookmarks. How can I pull the old bookmarks from the old drive to the new installation drive???

    Since you said you were able to transfer the data from your old drive to the new one, you probably still have the old Firefox Profile. Please read this article to see if it helps:
