Hi,
I am new to Mac OS and have used windows for previous years. I would like to move all my contents (mainly music or the settings like play count, album arts, playlist etc) from my PC to iMac Pro (using hi serria). My itunes settings are as follows:
I have some following questions:
1) when I used the Migration Assistant(MA), it showed that there is 50GB size for music under my username's music folder(PC),,, there is another 25GB size data for my D://xx. Does MA recognize duplicate contents? Since my itunes's music original file is not copied to itune's default library folder( should be c:\), I am confused if MA will duplicate the file transfer.
2) After the migration, I could see the song lists in my itunes. However, when I clicked play, it prompted me to locate the file source. I used iFinder to find where did MA migrate my music file. They are in MAC HD/shared/ music... ??? I forgot. Why is it that confusing?
3) I can't see the MA let me move the email which I am using outlook express in my Win 7.
4) Everytime, I used the MA, it created a new user on my iMac, how to merge all users into one please?

itunes media folder location: D:/xx/music << the music folder is around 25GB size, it should be only audio files in my whole PC, except some video)
(tick) - Keep iTunes media folder organized
(untick) -copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library
