Q: I could not find the files I transferred to my MAC from PC after using the Migration Assistant.

Where do I find in my iMAC the files I tranfered from my PC using the Migration Assistant. I could not find a setting to what folder I could to set to transfer it before I started to transfer.

    If the Windows Migration works like the Mac Migration, the files are in your home folder. See if there is an account on your Mac with the same username as you had on Windows.

    Migration Assistant creates a new user on your system and puts the files in that users home folder. Setup Assistant would transfer the files into the user folder of the user account created when originally setting up your Mac. Setup Assistant is what runs when you first turn on and setup your Mac and Migration Assistant is in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder.
