Q: Migration assistant user account confusion
I am attempting to migrate the data/files/folders/etc from my PC to my new imac. I have downloaded and installed the migration assistant on the PC, got the mac communication with the PC, selected the items I want to transfer the when I continue I get a pop up window stating a user account named XYZ already exists on this MAC. You must change the user name to resolve the conflict. There are two dialogue boxes both with XYZ in them one states new name (XYZ) the other states User account name (XYZ)
I set this MAC up with XYZ, same as the 13 year old PC, am I going to loose my user account name on the MAC because I am migrating from the PC?
Also, I have entered a new name and continued but nothing happened.
What is the best way to migrate with out having to change my MAC user name if possible ?
Thank you
iMac, iOS 9.1
