Planning to move a user to a new MacBook Air and give him Notes 9. Currently on Notes 8.5.3 on an old MacBook Pro. Planning to use an external Time Machine drive to move his environment.
Question: Do I do the Time Machine restore first and then install Notes 9 as an upgrade? If I install Notes 9 on the new machine before the restore what will happen?
Thanks.
David

If the new Mac Book Air is 10.8 in particular you should be aware of the differences, please review this technote first.

Michael – Thanks. That sounded safest.

In the end I moved the user’s account and files to the new machine using an external Time Machine backup disk. This was from OS 10.6.8 to 10.8. Then updated Notes from 8.5.3 to 9. Everything ended up in accessible folders and working properly.
