When you get a new Mac, it might be a good idea to do a clean installation; starting from scratch, with a brand-new operating system, and copy the files that you need from your old Mac manually. Here's how to migrate your files to your new Mac, or do a clean installation, and the pros and cons of both methods. The HDD you are moving your user folder to should be formatted as GUID partition table, Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it isn't, you can format it with the Disk Utility application. This will wipe all existing data from the drive. 2) Navigate to your User folder on your boot drive, the SSD. Discover the innovative world of Apple and shop everything iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple TV, plus explore accessories, entertainment, and expert device support. To fix the remaining apps, I used BetterTouchTool to create app-specific keyboard shortcuts binding Home and End to OS X's native shortcuts Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E. BetterTouchTool is not free, but there's a 45-day trial period.

The name of your macOS user account and the name of your home folder must both be the same. Changing these names does not change or reset the password of your user account.
Because doing this incorrectly could damage your account and prevent you from logging in, you should back up your important data before proceeding.
First rename the home folder
- Log out of the account you're renaming, then log in to a different administrator account. (If you don't have another administrator account, you can create one in Users & Groups preferences.)
- Open the Users folder on the startup disk. It contains the home folder for each user. To get there, you can choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar, then enter
/Users
. - Rename the user's home folder without using any spaces in the new name. You'll be prompted to enter the administrator name and password that you used to log in. If you're using file sharing to share the home folder, you won't be able to rename it until you stop sharing the folder.
