After the PlayStation 4 Pro restarts, it will ask you if you wish to transfer data from an older PlayStation 4 to your new model.

If you did not receive this prompt, you can also find the option under the System section of the settings menu. Select Yes, follow the on-screen instructions, and the system will begin scanning your Wi-Fi network for another console.

After finding both systems on the same network, it will ask you to connect the two with an Ethernet cable. After that, the new PlayStation 4 Pro will prompt you to press and hold the power button located on the console for several seconds. To give you an idea of how long this may take to transfer fully, we transferred roughly GB of data in our test, and it took around sixty minutes to finish. While the timing can vary, you can start playing on the PlayStation 4 Pro immediately as soon as it finishes transferring.

Your games will run faster, and your actions will appear smoother. Once you choose yes, the default will be set to your new console.
