The powerful new PlayStation 4 Pro is ready to go on sale on Nov. 10 and if you're planning to pick one up, you have some setting up to do.
Luckily, you can easily transfer all of your games, settings and data to the new PS4 Pro without much hassle.
How To Transfer Data From PS4 To PS4 Pro
Transferring necessary data to your new PlayStation console takes just a few simple steps and prerequisites. First, you need a LAN cable (not included with the PS4 Pro), broadband network access, and both consoles switched on.
Make sure that both the PS4 and the PS4 Pro are running system software version 4.0 or higher. If not, update them first. If you're not sure which software version is in use, head over to Settings > System Software Update.
Sign In To PSN
Once you're sure you're running the latest system software version, switch both consoles on and connect them to your broadband network either with LAN cables or via Wi-Fi and sign in to PlayStation Network (PSN).
To perform the data transfer, you only need to connect the new PS4 Pro to the TV. Just use your PSN ID and password to sign in to the new console and you're good to go.
Once you sign in, your PS4 Pro will detect that you're using a new console with your existing PSN credentials and will prompt a screen to ask whether you want to start transferring data from your old console. Confirm that you want to transfer your data, then press and hold the Power button on the old PS4 until you hear a beep. At this point, the console is preparing your data so you can port it over to the new console.
