Make sure your PC and Mac show the same passcode, then click Continue.

On your Mac

1. When your Mac has finished scanning the files on your PC, select the information that you want to transfer to your Mac. You may need to scroll down to see the complete list. Find out more about the data that you can transfer.
   
   
2. Click Continue to start the transfer. Large transfers may need several hours to be completed.
3. When finished, log in to the new user account on your Mac. The account uses the same name and password as the account on your PC.
4. Authorise your Mac for iTunes Store purchases. It's important to do this before you sync or play content downloaded from the iTunes Store.

If you need to transfer data from another Windows user account, log in to that account on your PC, then repeat these steps.

What data is moved, and where?

• Moved to the Mail app on Mac: Emails and email settings from Outlook and Windows Mail.
• Moved to the Contacts app: Contacts from People (Windows 10 or later), Outlook and the Contacts folder in your home directory.
• Moved to the Calendar app: Appointments from Calendar (Windows 10 or later) and Outlook.
• Moved to the Reminders app: Tasks from Outlook. Requires migrating to a Mac with macOS Ventura. 
• Moved to the Music app, Podcasts app, Books app, and TV app, respectively: Music, podcasts, audiobooks and films and TV shows.
• Moved to Safari: Homepage and bookmarks from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.
• Moved to System Settings or System Preferences: Custom desktop pictures, language settings and location settings. If the Mac is using macOS Ventura, known Wi-Fi networks are also moved.
• Moved to your home folder: Documents and other files from your home directory. And photos, which you can add to the Photos app manually, or let Photos search your Mac for photos to import.
• Moved to the Shared folder of your home folder: Non-system files and documents from the system disk (typically, the C drive) and other available disks. Requires using Migration Assistant while logged in to your PC as an administrator.

If you experience any issues when moving your data

You can use the check disk (chkdsk) utility on your PC to check for issues that may prevent successful migration of your data.

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 finds problems, type chkdsk drive: /F, where drive is the letter representing your Windows startup disk, such as C.
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 that it found, you may need to have your PC serviced. 

Or use an external storage device or file sharing to copy important data from your PC to your Mac.

Lesson 2: Navigating Windows

/en/windowsbasics/all-about-windows/content/

Navigating Windows

Whether you're new to computers or just Windows, it's important to learn the basics of using your computer. If it all seems a little overwhelming right now, don't worry! We'll take you through it step by step and show you some of the most fundamental things you'll need to know, including how to work with the desktop, open and close windows, and turn off your computer.

Watch the video below to learn the basics of navigating Windows.

The desktop

Once your computer has finished starting up, the first thing you'll see is the desktop. You can think of the desktop as the main workspace for your computer. From here, you can view and manage your files, open applications, access the Internet, and much more.

Click the buttons in the interactive below to become more familiar with the desktop.

In Windows 8, you will usually see the Start screen before the desktop. To learn more, review our lesson on Getting Started with Windows 8.

Working with applications

An application—also known as a program—is a type of software that allows you to complete tasks on your computer. Windows comes with many built-in applications you can use. For example, if you want to browse the Internet, you can use Microsoft Edge(or Internet Explorer if you're using Windows 8 or earlier).

To open an application:

1. Using your mouse, click the Start button, then select the desired application. If you don't see the one you want, click All Programs to see a complete list of applications. In our example, we'll open Microsoft Edge.
   

2. The application will appear in a new window.
   

There is no Start menu in Windows 8, so you'll usually open applications from the Start screen. Click the Start button to go to the Start screen, then click an app to open it.

Working with windows

Whenever you open a file, folder, or application, it will appear in a new window. You can have multiple items open at the same time in different windows. You'll use windows all the time, so it's important to know how to switch between open windows, how to move and resize windows, and how to close windows when you're done using them.

In Windows 8, some programs will open on the Start screen, not the desktop. If you're using Windows 8, note that the information below applies only to windows you have opened on the desktop.

Parts of a window

You'll see the same three buttons in the upper-right corner of almost every window. These buttons allow you to perform several functions, including these below.

• Click the Minimize button to hide the window. The window will be minimized to the taskbar. You can then click the icon for that window on the taskbar to make it reappear.
  

• Click the Maximize button to make the window fill the entire screen.
  

• If the screen is maximized, the Maximize button will be temporarily replaced by the Restore button. Just click it to return the window to its original size.
  

• Click the Close button to close the window.
  

To move a window:

1. Click and drag the top of the window to move it to the desired location on the screen. When you're done, release the mouse. 
   

2. The window will appear in the new location.

To resize a window:

1. Hover the mouse over any corner of the window, then click and drag the mouse to make the window larger or smaller. When you're done, release the mouse.
   

2. The window will be resized.
   

Switching between windows

If you have more than one window open at the same time, you can quickly switch between them by clicking the icon for that window on the taskbar.

Shutting down your computer

When you're done using your computer, it's important to shut it down properly. The procedure will vary slightly depending on which version of Windows you're using.

To shut down your computer:

• If you're using Windows 10, click the Start button, then the Power icon, then click Shut down.
  

• If you're using Windows 8, click the Start button to access the Start screen, click the Power icon near the upper-right corner, and select Shut down. If you don't see this option, it means you'll need to upgrade to Windows 8.1. Review this page from our Windows 8 tutorial to learn how.

• If you're using Windows 7 or earlier, Click the Start button, then select Shut down.
  

Restarting and Sleep mode

You can also click the power button button for more options. For example, if your computer has become unresponsive, you can choose Restart to quickly turn it off and on again.

You can also choose to put your computer into Sleep mode. This turns off most of your computer's processes, but it remembers which applications and files are open. It allows the computer to start up more quickly because you won't have to wait for the operating system and applications to load. Note that your computer may go into Sleep mode automatically if you haven't used it for more than a few minutes.

If you have a laptop, you can simply close the lid to put it into Sleep mode.

Waking your computer from Sleep mode

If your computer is in Sleep mode, you'll need to wake it to use it. To wake the computer from Sleep mode, click the mouse or press any key on the keyboard.
