Apps

Move all the NON OS and Apps off the boot drive.

Jan 09, 2018  When I tried looking through my apps in the store and uninstalling the apps I wanted to move from my laptop, the store just wanted to re-download the app again on my desktop. Part of me just doesn't understand why Windows 10 doesn't have a feature or tool available to move apps. Thanks for the help still, it's much appreciated. Jan 04, 2020  You can move your music, TV shows, and movies from their default folders to a new location on a network drive or to another Mac.

Keep all your applications with the system drive.


Mac OS doesn't normally need more than 150GB by itself, a few people have twice that (X-Plane can go anywhere and use 60GB)

Move Mac Files To Pc


I also would go for Windows on its own drive instead.


Move your home account to another drive or just all the data/doc and media libraries.


I've played with a dedicated 3rd party apps drive (10K or 15K SCSI) and it doesn't help. Sometimes you can install a few third party with your home folder if you really insist and drag and drop, most installers will still need to add to the boot drive's Library.

Migration Assistant copies all of your files to your new Mac so that you don't have to copy your files manually.

Apps
  • If your files are currently on a Windows PC, follow the PC migration steps instead.
  • If your new Mac is using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 or earlier, follow the Mountain Lion migration steps instead.

Check software, settings, and power

  • Install all available Apple software updates on both Mac computers. Install any updates for your third-party apps as well.
  • Make sure that your old Mac is using OS X Lion or later.
  • Make sure that your old Mac has a computer name: Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Sharing and check the Computer Name field.
  • Connect both computers to AC power.

Connect the computers to each other

Apps For Mac

  • If both computers are using macOS Sierra or later, just make sure that they're near each other and have Wi-Fi turned on. If either is using OS X El Capitan or earlier, connect them to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
  • Or connect them using target disk mode and the appropriate cable or adapter. Then start up your old computer in target disk mode.
  • Or connect your new Mac to a Time Machine backup of your old Mac.

Mac Move Apps To Another Driver

In the example above, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If you transfer an account that has the same name as an account on your new Mac, you're asked to rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you rename, the old account appears as a separate user on your new Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account overwrites the account on your new Mac, including everything in its home folder.

After Migration Assistant is done, log in to the migrated account on your new Mac to see its files. If you're not keeping your old Mac, learn what to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your old Mac.
