The 'proper' way is to setup a share on the Mac and share it with the windows box Can't really just connect the two with a network cable - you need to connect both to a common router or network hub. To get the IP on windows - do right click on network connection, pick status and the details HOWEVER, a whole lot easier way is to use a dropbox (or google drive) and let that system do the work It would work well unless you don't have a good cable (or better) connection. OR you could just use a thumb drive -- they are pretty big now a days -- dumb is good Good luck - Rich On 3/6/2018 8:56 PM, Shel Horowitz wrote: > Thanks for all the advice on buying a computer.
