Windows Migration Assistant Tool
It is not a simple 2 clicks of the mouse step, but that shouldn’t matter because your files are more important than the perceived difficulty. In all seriousness, it is not hard, but it not super easy either.
Step 1: Before Migrating from macOS Big Sur to Windows 10
Step 2: Use the check disk (chkdsk) utility
Step 3: Move data from a Windows PC to your Mac
When migration completes, log in to the new user account on your Mac. We have given additional details where required. First, off the bat, you’ll need to download the Windows Migration Assistant tool from Apple. It works on macOS Big Sur too. The application should be able to migrate files from Windows 10 and earlier versions. After installation, the migration application should launch automatically. Keep in mind that the migration tool will only transfer your contacts, calendars, and email accounts, and more. Furthermore, we should point out that the Windows 8 and Windows 10 mail app are no supported. Also, both your Mac and Windows PC need to be connected to the same network via “Ethernet.”
Transfer files and data from Windows PC to Mac
After installing the tool on your Windows PC, turn on your new Mac for the first time. When it is booted, you should see “Transfer Information to This Mac” window. If when the Mac is turned on the relevant windows have not appeared, follow these simple instructions. Go > Utilities, or press Shift–Command–U. Double-click Migration Assistant. From here, you will be required to select the “From a Windows PC” transfer option, then click Continue. The Mac should highlight a passcode; this same passcode should also appear on your Windows computer. Click continue to proceed with the process. On your Mac, you should now see a window that gives the option of where to transfer files from. Click the correct boxes then click on Transfer at the bottom and watch the transfer bar as files slowly migrate. We’re not sure why you would want to leave the world of Windows to a Mac since Windows 10 is arguably the best desktop operating system available today. But hey, each person is free to make their own choices, so if you want to switch to a Mac, then go for it. PS: Planning to switch from Mac to Windows?
