I would like to get some advise, since I'm planning to make the switch from a Windows laptop to an iMac within the next few months...
But I have a lot of Microsoft Word, Excel files that I don't want to lose.
Neither can I afford to lose all my emails and websites (using Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox).
I run a company, so for me all the above files are very important to maintain.
- Now my fear is... will OSX recognize all these files by default, or do I need to convert everything with a specific app?
Also, normally I make weekly backups of all my files to an external harddrive, will this harddrive be recognized by OSX?
** I need to be absolutely sure that my files are safe, before I make the switch within the next few months.
