Transferring from PS4 to PS4 Pro – all you need first

While we've rounded up everything you may need to know about PS4 Pro in general separately, there are a few details to keep in mind before getting into the transfer process:

Your old PS4 isn't removable – All data copied on the new PS4 Pro, it's not technologically transmitted. You will need to manually delete it if you want to delete data from the old console.
Erase your old PS4 if you want to sell or sell it – To do so, refer to Settings, is Getting started, is Initialise PS4, is It's full. Be warned though this will erase all the physical storage on your PS4. Backing up to the cloud or external hard drive first and checking the duplicate transfer has been successful on the Pro before doing this!
Do not cut power during transmission – this can lead to data loss, so be careful.
Details in the new console are being rewritten – that means whatever you've done in the new console before you make the transfer will be deleted when the transfer is complete. Do not start any new games on the Pro before transfer if you want to keep that save.
You need both consoles for a full transfer – if you have already sold or traded on your original PS4, unfortunately you cannot transfer the entire program to the PS4 Pro. However, you can still reload any purchased PSN games and apps in the PlayStation Store. If you have a PS Plus, you can also reload any saved game data you have stored in the free cloud storage that you get as a Plus member.

Take an ethernet or LAN cable, both comforting hearts – only Pro needs to be connected to your TV, but the standard PS4 still requires the power and the internet connection itself. A LAN cable to connect the two, which we explain below in discussion.
Make sure both programs are up to date – you need to be on software 4.0 or higher both of them to comfort. Head to Settings, is Software updates double check.
Connect to the Internet and sign up for PSN – Turn on both sides, make sure they're both in line, and sign in to PSN with both. Either Wi-Fi or LAN is fine.
Connect PS4 Pro to TV – your old PS4 needs to be switched online. We recommend that we both get closer to the truth, so you can quickly check that they are both online before starting to transfer to Pro.
Follow the release on your PS4 Pro -first login, Pro will ask you if you want to transfer data from your old PS4. Make sure you want to start the process, then it's old PS4, press and hold the Power button for about a second, until you hear the beep.
Connect the two pins with the LAN cable – You can also connect each console separately than your router if that's convenient; this will not affect the process.
Select the data you would like to transfer – Applications, Databases, Captures, Themes, and settings are your ways. Check each one you would like to send.
Activate the PS4 Pro as your primary console – Select Yes, this PS4 worked when prompted, as well as selecting any users you would like to be their primary console.
