Switching to iCloud without a Mac computer

i Would like to switch my wife from Google Calendars to iCloud calendar as thats what i have done and makes it easier to both be on the same system. i have a MBP, but she does not. Whats the best way to switch her?


with myself, in my Calendar/iCal ap i copied all my events and calendars over. She doesnt have this luxury of having a Mac. Can i give her a login on my MBP, login, set up her iCloud on my MBP and do as i did?


or is there an easier way?

You can set up a new user account on your Mac for her, which then behaves in effect as if she had her own computer, and use it to set up an iCloud account from scratch. Note that any one device can only create three iCloud accounts. You need to keep her on a separate account from yours or everything will get jumbled up together: of course only one person at a time can use the Mac (though changing over can be effected quickly by using Fast User Swiotching).
