Set up your Mac Studio
When you set up your new Mac Studio, you can customize certain settings for your Mac, set up features like Touch ID, and transfer data from another computer. If you already have a Mac, iPad, or iPhone, you may also have the option to skip several steps by using your existing settings in order to set up your new Mac more quickly.
