    Windows Migration Assistant - Edge issue


    I'm trying to move a large number of photos from my WIndows 10 machine to a Mac. I've downloaded the latest version of WMA - when I open it I get an error message saying I need to close Edge. I've tried closing Edge & restarting, I've tried a "clean start-up" but I still get the same mesaage re. closing Edge.


    ANy ideas to help me get past this issue?


    Or could I lift the photos onto a portable hard drive & move them that way? If so, are there any compatibility issues?

    :)
