What’s the Best Way to Set Up a New Apple Mac Computer?
If you already have an Apple account (previously known as an Apple ID), the most effective way to set up a new Apple Mac computer is by using Apple’s iCloud services. Begin by ensuring all iCloud features are switched on and that your key data is securely stored in iCloud. This guarantees an optimised user experience on your new machine, as macOS software will be fully up to date and your digital environment synchronised.
This method is particularly helpful if your previous Mac was running an outdated macOS version or had many Intel-based applications. Please note that third-party software like Microsoft 365 for Mac (including Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint) will need to be reinstalled separately.
Alternatively, you can restore from a Time Machine backup or use the built-in Migration Assistant. If you take this route, be sure to deselect ‘Applications’ during the transfer. This is recommended if your previous Mac was slow, crashing, or cluttered, allowing your new machine to run at peak performance.
