Apple MC976LL/A, MD101LL/A, MD104LL/A manual Configure your MacBook Pro with Setup Assistant

Step 4:  Configure your MacBook Pro with Setup Assistant.

The first time you turn on your MacBook Pro, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps you specify your Wi-Fi network, set up a user account, and transfer information from another Mac or PC. You can also transfer information from a Time Machine backup or other disk.

If you’re migrating from another Mac, you might have to update software if the other Mac doesn’t have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later installed. To migrate from a PC, download the Migration Assistant from www.apple.com/migrate-to-mac, and install it on the PC you want to migrate from.

After you start Setup Assistant on your MacBook Pro, you can leave it midprocess without quitting, move to the other computer if you need to update its software, and then return to your MacBook Pro to complete the setup.

Note:  If you don’t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up your MacBook Pro, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. Open Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder in Launchpad. For help using Migration Assistant, open Help Center and search for “Migration Assistant.”
