The welcome screen

Most of the next few screens are self-explanatory—choose your language, the time zone, etc.

You will be asked if you want to transfer your files from another, separate Mac or from a separate partition on the same Mac. This feature, called migrating, transfers over most of the files from your old machine to your new one; please see Lesson 2. You can either follow the simple, on-screen directions and migrate your files right now. Or you can skip to Lesson 2 and read about migrating before you do it. Or you can skip the entire process right now and do it later at your leisure, using the Migration Assistant; see Lesson 2.
