Hello all,
Yesterday, someone offered to buy my 2011 MBP 15" computer for a great price. My fiancé and I both have MBA's for work, and the 15" was relegated to desktop duty anyway.
I sold the 2011 MPB, but not before removing the original hdd. The new buyer wanted an SSD anyway, so I was able to keep my information and worry less about subsequent purchasers accessing my old data.
Anyway, I bought a 27" iMac last night (for $1,511.xx at best buy btw) for our home computer.
However, I am wondering if I can simply connect the old MBP HDD to the iMac and drag and drop the info? I know the MBP HDD was the computer's main drive, and I wanted to ask if there was going to be any issues accessing the document files, music, movies, etc.
Also, I had Microsoft Office 2011 on the MBP. Is there any way I can move Office to the new iMac without buying a new copy/license?
Thank in advance for your responses.
(P.s. I put this thread here because it involves accessing data from the MBP. If the thread needs moved, please do so).
