  2. Migrating to new PC

    Hello,

    I bought a new PC and wanted to know if the stored credentials and themes on the old PC can be transferred to the new PC. I've already transferred apps and and my documents over to the new PC. It seems the migration tool I used missed the credentials and
    themes.

    Can these be transferred to the new PC?

    Migration vs Clone to New PC

    First question: I would delete all that extra stuff.

    Second question: See post #44:

    Migration vs Clone to New PC - Page 5 - Windows 10 Forums

    Yes, the file name for the ISO file is different - use the v1511 ISO file.

  4. "How-to" question re migration to new PC

    Migration; PC to Mac

    I am trying to migrate my files and apps from Windows 10 Pro to a new MacBook Air. Opening the Migration Assistant, following all steps, it comes to a point where it states I must Close WINDOWS MAIL in order to proceed. I have tried everything in the book
    to close or remove this program and it just wont happen. I don't use WINDOWS MAL and never have. No idea what it does. Just know it won't close and allow the migration of my files and programs from my PC to my Mac. How can I get this done???
