How to Copy Files from Mac to PC

If you're looking for an easy way to transfer files from your Mac to your PC, you've come to the right place. In this article, we'll show you how to copy files from a remote Windows server to a local machine Mac.

First, let's start with Migration Assistant. After it's done, quit Migration Assistant on both computers and log in to the migrated account on your new Mac to see its files. You might want to start the transfer process in the evening and allow it to complete overnight.

To begin the transfer process, click Continue to start the transfer. In the popup window, click the Redirection button. Next, go to My Desktops and choose your Connection Entry. Open Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac and drag and drop files to your PC by dropping them on the icon.

It's important to note that large transfers might need hours to complete and might seem to pause occasionally. On your Mac, a PC icon will be displayed on your desktop. You can then use this icon to transfer files between your Mac and PC.

Another thing to keep in mind is that when you migrate an account from one computer to another, Migration Assistant asks whether to rename or replace the identically named account on the new Mac. If you choose to rename, the account on your old Mac will appear as an additional user on your new Mac, with a separate login and home folder.

Before clicking Continue, it's a good idea to learn what it means to transfer a user account. When ready, select the information to transfer. Migration Assistant now catalogs all of the content on your old Mac and calculates how much storage space is used by your apps, user accounts, files, folders, and settings.

Finally, you can use the Copy and Paste method to transfer files from your Mac to PC. To do this, simply select a file, folder, or group of files, right-click, and choose Copy. Then, open the destination location on your PC and right-click again and choose Paste.

By following these steps, you should be able to easily copy files from your Mac to PC using Migration Assistant and Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac.
