Microsoft’s new tool makes it easy to switch from Mac to Windows, if you can get it

Microsoft has a new tool that makes it easier than ever to switch from Mac to Windows. The tool is aptly called Mac to Surface Assistant, highlighting Microsoft’s own Surface computer brand.

The migration assistant, available for Mac, makes it really easy to switch over content like documents, pictures, music, and other files. When the tool is downloaded, it walks you through the process of selecting the content you want to transfer and compresses it into a zip file. Twitter user WalkingCat was the first to find the tool and post it publicly.

Migrating content from Mac to a Windows machine is not overly complicated, but it can be more of a challenge for people who aren’t too familiar with computers or cloud services that would be required to make the transition seamless. This is probably who the assistant is meant for.
