But how do you take such a leap? Well rest assured it's actually easier than you might think, more like a little hop.
The two latest versions of OS X, Lion and Mountain Lion, both include a utility called the 'Migration Assistant' which provides an automated way to migrate your files from a Windows PC.
What data is migrated by Migration Assistant?
- User Account
- Files (documents, photos and videos)
- Contacts
- Calendars
- ITunes
- Browser Settings for Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox
Apple's Migration Assistant is capable of transferring data from a number of Windows mail applications including Microsoft Outlook (2003, 2007 and 2010 32-bit versions), Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Windows Mail Live Mail.
If you have iTunes for Windows installed then your iTunes library including music, photos, videos, apps and games for iOS devices, will be copied over.
What data is NOT migrated by Migration Assistant?
- Windows Applications
- User Account Passwords
No Windows applications are copied over because Mac cannot run Windows software and for that reason you might not be able to open some files created by missing Windows applications. For example you will need to install Microsoft Word for Mac (or an alternative word processing application for Mac) to enable you to open all those lovely Word documents you have just moved.
How to Transfer
The easiest method to perform this task is by connecting your new Mac and PC to the same home/office network and running the Migration Assistant Wizard on the Mac and the Windows Migration Assistant on your PC (this is a free program written by Apple).

Check your network connection. If your PC doesn't appear in the Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant window on your Mac, make sure they're both connected to the same network. You can create an isolated network by connecting a single Ethernet cable between your Mac and PC.

Disable anti-virus software. If Migration Assistant won't open on your PC, temporarily disable any anti-virus software on your PC and try opening Migration Assistant again. You can re-enable your anti-virus software after migration is finished.
If you're unable to use Migration Assistant to transfer your files from your PC to your Mac, you can also manually copy your important data to your Mac using an external drive or file sharing.
