Hi everyone.

Today I ordered my new Mac setup.

Mac Studio Studio Display. I am coming from a intel based MacBook Pro - I'm super excited.

The organization of my old Mac is not good.

I want to set up my new Mac very slowly and carefully. I want to rename files and folders and do a complete new organization.

How is the best way to do it? I don't wanna use a backup to set it up - what is the best way?

Can I just transfer file/folders by Airdrop once by once?

What happens when I log in my iCloud account on my new Mac?

Thank you!
