Dark Mode is finely tuned for professionals who edit photos and images—colors and fine
details pop against the dark app backgrounds. But it’s also great for anyone who just
wants to focus on their content.

It’s easy to move your files and settings from another Mac or PC to your MacBook Air. You
can transfer information to your MacBook Air from an old computer—or from a
Time Machine backup on a USB storage device—either wirelessly, or with an Ethernet
cable and adapters.
You might need to upgrade the macOS version on your older computer before you can
transfer the information on it—Migration Assistant requires macOS 10.7 or later, but it’s
best to update your older computer to the latest version possible. If you’re not sure which
MacBook Air you have or want to find information about other models, see the Apple
Support article .
Tip: For best results, make sure your new MacBook Air is running the latest version of
macOS. Open System Preferences, then click Software Update to check for updates.
Move from a PC to a Mac. If you’re new to Mac and want to transfer from a Windows
computer, see in the macOS User Guide and the Apple
Support article .
Transfer wirelessly. To transfer the data when you first set up your MacBook Air, use
Setup Assistant. To transfer data later, use Migration Assistant. Open a Finder window, go
to Applications, open Utilities, then double-click Migration Assistant to do a wireless
migration. Follow the onscreen instructions.
