Migration process

[Ratatapa]

Ok Hi, with Lion coming out tomorrow I wanted to ask

I never migrated a mac before (Bought my first mac wiht SL)

How does the migration process work usually

Does it save my data does it update like a normal install?

Thanks

As this an update install, you don't need to migrate your data, as only the system will be updated and your personal data will be left alone.
