Hi, I'm helping a colleague to get a hold of her Mac after another colleague of ours got transferred and left her computer here.
She kindly gave her all her passwords so it actually is completely accessible even right now, but still, I'd like to create a new admin profile for the person that's gonna be using it from now on.
Problem is... I can create a new profile (administrator level) but I won't find all the programs the previous user had installed.
Is there a way to "migrate" - so to speak - all the softwares and settings?
Do I necessarily have to do a full backup and then use the migration assistant and retrieve everything from there?
Also... the new user doesn't currently have an Apple ID. I'm guessing she's gonna be needing one, if she wants to be the "real owner" of this machine, right?
Thanks for any help you might give me!
Cheers!
