Data transfers can now be accomplished remotely.

In today’s age of Zoom and remote sessions, it’s no longer necessary to take your computer offsite to do data transfers overnight. We can now do it all remotely but it does require a little preparation. Here’s what you’ll need.

1. Old computer
2. New computer (Just take it out of the box but don’t turn it on)
3. Backup hard drive (time machine) that’s been connected to the old computer recently.
4. USB to USB-C adapter if you don't already have one.. Here's the one I like.

We’ll meet over two sessions. The first session will only take a few minutes as we get the transfer going.

The second session will take around an hour as I remote in to the new computer and do the heavier clean up work.

You’ll only need to schedule the first session. Then we'll just communicate through the day as the transfer completes the first phase on its own.
