Transfer your data from a PC to a Mac

Step 8:

Locate your files

Your PC files are now all resting comfortably on your new iMac, without the need for antirejection drugs. They live in the Documents folder, which you'll find within Documents And Settings on your desktop. Apple drops the oh-so-useful My designation from its folder names, so you'll find My Documents files in the Documents folder, My Pictures files in Pictures, and My Music files in Music. The only exception is My Videos, which Apple calls Movies.
