Apr 20, 2018 Looking for a detailed guide that can help you migrate from Mac to Windows 10? This guide will show you all the steps. The Complete Guide to Migrating from macOS to Windows 10. Jul 12, 2017 How to Move Your Apple Photos Library to Another Location Matt Klein @howtogeek Updated July 12, 2017, 11:14am EDT Apple’s new Photos application was released as part of a recent system update. If you want to migrate the assets synced to your iCloud Library, click the iCloud tab and select iCloud Photo Library. Ensure that Download Originals to this Mac is selected, as the Photos migrator can only migrate photos for which originals are stored locally. Wait for all your originals to be downloaded before you begin migration. Jul 12, 2017 Photos, by connecting to iCloud, means you can have one synced photos library across all your devices, such as here on our iPad. As we mentioned, by default Photos saves its library in your Pictures folder, which is in your user folder unless you move it like we did. Open Library.

We recently got a look at how Microsoft is making it easier for Windows 10 devices with limited storage to deal with app installations by changing a simple option in Storage settings to install new apps on an external drive. Today, we are looking at how you can save local storage space by saving your files to a secondary drive automatically.
In Windows 10, Microsoft is adding some new features, many of which come from Windows Phone 8. One example is Storage Sense, which let users easily change the default save locations of documents, music, photos, and more.
The new operating system, which apparently is on track to launch later in the summer, brings a similar feature to configure specific locations to save your documents, music, pictures, and videos to an alternate location.
Follow these steps to save files to a different drive
To change the settings, simply go to the Settings app, navigate to Storage and under Save locations, change the location for each specific type of file.
The only drawback to this feature is that it will only save files to these locations after changing the settings. If you have files already stored in the 'Documents' or any of the other folders, those files will not get moved to the new location.
Quickly move old file to the new location
Although, this is a good option to help you save space in your local storage, it can get a little confusing for some users. Using this new feature will not change the location for the folders listed under 'This PC' in the File Explorer. Many users can end up saving and moving files in two different locations without knowing.
To avoid this issue, you can change the settings in Storage, but you also want to change the location of your account folders to the new destination.
To do this:
1- Go to File Explorer and navigate to This PC, in 'Folders', right-click the 'Documents' folder and click Properties.
2- Navigate to the Location tab, click the Find Target button and browse to the new location for the document's folder.
3- Copy the path from the address bar, go back to the Location tab, and paste the path in the field, and click Apply.
4- In the 'Move Folder' dialog box, click Yes to allow to move the content from the old location to the new one. (Repeat the same process for each folder you change settings in Storage.)
This process will accomplish two things. First, no matter where you're in the operating system, you can be sure you'll always be saving the files to the new location. Second, this process moves all the old files in your system to the new location.
Here are a few more things you need to know
- Make sure you're using an external drive that you won't be disconnecting very often
- When you change the save location settings, files will be stored inside of a folder that has your account name
- Be consistent on how you save files moving forward
- If you disconnect the drive, the save locations settings will revert to 'This PC' until you reconnect the drive
- Saving files to a secondary location doesn't replace a backup of your files, but it's an option that help in case the Windows installation gets corrupted or it just simply dies. (Though, this could also happen to the secondary location.)

In June 2014, Apple announced that development of Aperture has been discontinued. Since then, Apple has released six major macOS upgrades. For technical reasons, macOS Mojave is the last version of macOS to run Aperture. Starting with macOS Catalina, Aperture is no longer compatible with macOS.
To continue working with your Aperture photo libraries, you must migrate them to another photo app. You can migrate them to the Photos app, which is included with macOS Yosemite or later, or migrate them to Adobe Lightroom Classic or another app. You should do this before upgrading to macOS Catalina.

Migrate your library to Photos
If you're using macOS Mojave or earlier
Follow these steps if you're using macOS Mojave or earlier:
- Open Aperture.
- Choose Aperture > Preferences, click the Previews tab, then change the Photo Preview setting to Don't Limit. Close the preferences window.
- From the list of projects in the Library inspector, select all of your projects. For example, click the first project listed, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking the last project.
- Click the Browser layout button in the toolbar, so that all photos are shown as thumbnails.
- Choose Edit > Select All to select all of your photos.
- Press and hold the Option key, then choose Photos > Generate Previews.
- Aperture now generates full-size previews for every photo in your library. To follow its progress, choose Window > Show Activity from the menu bar. Quit Aperture when processing is complete.
- Open the Photos app, then choose your Aperture library when prompted, as pictured above. If you aren't prompted to choose a library, press and hold the Option key while opening Photos. If your Aperture library isn’t listed, click Other Library, then locate and choose your library.
When Photos shows the photos from your Aperture library, migration is complete. Learn more about how Photos migration works and how Photos handles content, metadata, and smart albums from Aperture.
If you're using macOS Catalina
Starting with macOS Catalina, Aperture is no longer compatible with macOS. If you upgraded to macOS Catalina before migrating your library to Photos, follow these steps:
- Install the latest macOS Catalina updates. Your Mac must be using macOS Catalina 10.15.1 or later.
- If you migrated your library to Photos after installing macOS Catalina 10.15 but before updating to macOS Catalina 10.15.1, complete these steps before continuing:
- Select your Aperture library in the Finder. By default, it's named Aperture Library and is in the Pictures folder of your home folder.
- Choose File > Get Info. An Info window for your Aperture library opens.
- In the Name & Extension section of the Info window, replace .migratedphotolibrary at the end of the file name with .aplibrary. Then close the window.
- Open the Photos app, then choose your Aperture library when prompted, as pictured above. If you aren't prompted to choose a library, press and hold the Option key while opening Photos. If your Aperture library isn’t listed, click Other Library, then locate and choose your library.

Migrate your library to Adobe Lightroom Classic
Adobe Lightroom Classic version 5.7 and later includes a built-in tool for migrating Aperture libraries to Lightroom catalogs.
If you’ve upgraded to macOS Catalina, learn about compatibility with Lightroom Classic.
When an Aperture library is migrated to Lightroom, your library's organization, metadata, and image adjustments are preserved, with some exceptions:
- RAW files are migrated, but Aperture's non-destructive adjustment layer does not. Lightroom’s migrator tool includes an option to export and migrate Aperture’s full-size JPEG previews for edited images. If you want to preserve your Aperture edits in another format, export the edited images from Aperture first, then reimport them into Lightroom after migrating your library.
- Projects, folders, and albums are migrated to Lightroom collections and collection sets.
- Faces, color labels, and stacks are migrated as keywords.
- Rejected images are migrated to a collection.
- Slideshows are migrated as collections.
- Smart Albums and custom metadata fields aren't migrated.
- Album organization is alphabetical, so manual sidebar organization might not be preserved.
- Custom metadata fields aren't migrated.
Export your Aperture library
You can also export the contents of your Aperture library to back it up or to import into another app.
