Microsoft Helps Apple Users Switch From Mac To Surface With This New Tool

International Business Times

Microsoft has an answer to consumers who are worried about having to tediously transfer files from a Mac device to a Surface tablet or laptop. The Redmond giant just introduced its Mac to Surface Assistant, which is basically a tool that facilitates the smooth migration of files from Apple computers to Microsoft's line of Surface devices. On Monday, Apple Insider learned of Microsoft's new migration tool which has the sole purpose of making it easy for users to transfer files, documents, photos, music and others stored on their Mac computers into any of the Surface devices. The tool is said to work so efficiently once the user has agreed to the end-user license agreement and provided the user has set the destination for the file before allowing its transfer to an external drive. Upon downloading the Mac to Surface Assistant, the tool will automatically walk the user through the process of how to transfer documents and media files to another device in the form of a zip file. Of course, Microsoft knows that not everyone stores files on the external drive.
