How to move a user account from one Mac to another<article>
<section class="page">
<p>With macOS, you can set up your Mac with separate user accounts. That way, multiple people can use one computer, but the files, app settings, and other data for each user are kept separate from each other.</p><p>But what if you have two Macs, and you want to move a user account from one Mac to another? Macworld reader and newlywed Nolan wrote in with questions about just such an activity. He and his wife want to migrate his account from a computer he owns to her Mac, and he’ll sell his old computer.</p><p>But he has questions about how to handle this appropriately. Specifically:</p><ul>
<li>Each of them have separate Time Machine backups.</li>
<li>He has Backblaze running for cloud-based archiving on his computer.</li>
<li>His wife’s Macbook doesn’t have enough storage to let him use his Photos library in place, so he wants to move this to an external drive.</li>
</ul>
<p>What to do? Since they’re already making Time Machine backups (good data hygiene, Nolan!), it’s the right place to start. But the large Photos library could complicate matters.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3293404/macs/how-to-move-a-user-account-from-one-mac-to-another.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
