All Data Transfer Routes
The following tables provide a full overview on the various transfer options depending on the system that you are coming from and the system you want to transfer your data to. The recommended options are marked in the table with W(indows)/M(acOS)/L(inux) added next to the '✓' sign.
'[✓]' means that this option is possible but might be the worst choice of the given ones.
