The BEST Way To Migrate Data to A NEW Mac

About to buy a NEW Mac? This video will teach you the BEST way to migrate your data from an OLD Mac to a NEW Mac. There are several methods one can use to migrate data from an old Mac to a new Mac. Those methods include migration assistant, time machine, target disk mode, manually move the data, or you can use iCloud Drive. Ultimately, I think iCloud Drive is the best solution, but there are some exceptions to the rule. If you decide to use iCloud Drive, you need to know where to go to get the data that lives OUTSIDE of iCloud, and move it into the cloud. This video will teach you how to do that.
