Best way to migrate to a new mac

[Conanius]

Hi all,

We have a mbp 13" mid 2010 which we are considering swapping out for a new MBA

The difficult bit is it has a bootcamp partition.

I want to make the transfer as easy as possible. Mac and windows sides are exactly how we want, so ideally it would be a simple clicking exercise.

Any ideas what the best thing to do will be ?

Ummm, for OSx its easy, you use the migration wizard, for Windows you could use a Data Transfer kit, but you will have to install the partitions and re-install the software but this shouldn't be to hard. cloning the hard drive might work, but you will have driver issues i am sure!

No such thing as drivers issues on macs if its all OEM. The OS installs all drivers for supported models.

The way I would do it is to us the miragation option during the setup of the new mac, or place the old mac in target disk mode (makes it to a hdd) the just copy which ever files you want.

You can't really transfer the boot camp over as I think it's down to m$ EULA more than a tech reason.
