Importing Favourites (Bookmarks) from Win10 to MacMini2

Importing Favourites (Bookmarks) from Win10 to MacMini2

For upgrading my Desktop I decided to go for the Apple Mac mini2 (as I already have an iPhone & iPad).

After setting up the system and familiarising myself with the Mac OS Sonoma, now I am trying to import my favourites (Bookmarks) in my previous computer windows 10.

Is there a way to do that in bulk?

(I can see my old bookmarks on iPad's "Chrome" - any web page -> 3 dots on top right corner-> (star) Bookmarks --> Pressing that brings my old book marks.)

How do I that in Mac OS Sonoma/ Apple Mac mini2?

Mac mini, macOS 14.1

If you were using Chrome in your Windows 10 machine, go to Settings, Bookmarks, Bookmark manager...then choose export. It will create an html file that contains all your bookmarks.

You'll need to copy that to a thumb drive then copy it to the Mac Desktop.

Then open Safari > Click File > Import From. Choose html. Then navigate to the desktop and select your html file you transferred from the Windows 10 machine and placed on your desktop.

PS - If you weren't using Chrome, find the browser's export tool in the menu system and proceed from there.
