Various files can be moved or copied from a computer or device running the Windows operating system to another device or computer, for example, a device running the Mac operating system. This process is called file transfer from Windows to Mac. Files, documents or other different contents stored on a device or computer can be transferred to a device using another operating system. While this process can be used for data synchronization or migration between devices, there may also be a need to transfer to a new device.
