Checklist: PC and Mac migrations

This TechRepublic Premium download includes a checklist for PC and Mac migrations to minimize frustrations and improve productivity.

Regardless of the process, there are several elements to track when replacing an existing computer with a new system. Whether your organization begins by imaging drives or manually configures new systems, many questions must be addressed, including:

  • Does the user need a desktop or laptop?
  • Should the user receive a PC or Mac?
  • Which model did the user use previously?
  • Does a ready-made image exist for the user’s department, or will the migration proceed manually?
  • If using a ready-made image, does the user require additional or customized settings, applications or services not included within the image?
  • Who’s responsible for migrating any locally stored data on the old machine to the new system?
  • Do cloud accounts—including file storage services—need to be configured for the user?
  • Who’s recording BitLocker and FileVault recovery keys?
  • Resource Details
