I am switching from a PC to a Macbook Air for the first time. When I use this migration assistant, how does the Macbook handle Word docs, if there is not Word on the Macbook? Can I still open, view and edit them? In what platform will they be? Thanks!
Great questions, and we’ll do our best to answer them.
Regarding third-party apps, it can be a bit tricky as we do not support them, but the developer does. For this reason, we recommend contacting Microsoft regarding compatibility/transfers/and any other questions about features within their apps.
Regarding our Migration Assistant, you can choose to move all of your content to your new Mac. This will include any files you have saved on your Mac storage. Just in case you didn’t know about it, you can also use iCloud Drive to store files instead of on the Mac built-in storage: s.apple.com/dE4q7o5d9A

Even though I have turned all of my running apps off, I cannot do anything as the migration app keeps telling me to turn off Edge. I have tried to restart my computer a few times but the problem still persists. Ultimately, after eradicating Edge from my life, the migration app told me that for somehow Edge was still alive and I had to accept it. :)

I was able to fix the problem with the help of microsoft support.
The task manager wasn’t showing any programs running. However when you click the more details on the task manager window it shows a fuller extent of all programs and processes running. I was able to end the Edge task there.
I hope this helps someone out there.

Why i Mac m2?
I love watching things that I don’t use ngl
Is this via Bluetooth? Hardwired? How do these connect?
Great question! We can help.
When following the steps in s.apple.com/dE4l3Z3H8N to move your data from a Windows PC to a Mac, you’ll need to connect your Mac and PC to the same network.
This can be done wirelessly over your home Wi-Fi network, or if you prefer you can connect an Ethernet cable between the ports on your Mac and PC to create a direct network connection instead. (Some Mac models require an Ethernet adapter, such as the Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter or Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter).
