How to Transfer Data from a PlayStation 4 to a PS4 PRO

Hi, this video shows you the full step by step of transferring all the data from your existing PS4 to another PS4. In the video I am transferring all the data from a PS4 Slim and putting it onto a brand new PS4 Pro but it will work between any version of PlayStation 4. In the video it shows the first time setup of the PS4 Pro followed by the transfer. It does take a long time to complete but it is very simple to do and then you can continue to play your games from where you left off on the previous PS4, you do not need to start over from the beginning.
Once you are complete if you wish to sell your older PS4 then I have also done an in depth video in my YouTube channel on how to fully wipe the data from it.
Many thanks Vince

My 9 year old grandson wishes to say "Thank you" for helping him transfer his system to his new PS4 and your guide was very helpful for him 👍

Over a year after you posted this video and I just brought my PS4 Pro today, got it home and out of the box, put your video on and sat back and had a completely stress free set-up and transfer. Thank you so so much.

Wow this is just the best and better explained video of all. After I watched this I did not have a single question or doubt about the whole process, amazing job!!

Fantastic video. For anyone that might get confused as I did regarding the lan cable being connected from console directly to new console, in order for that to work you need to start off having both PS4 connected wirelessly to the same WiFi network and not on a ethernet cable to the router. This way it will then prompt you to connect one PS4 to the other via an ethernet cable. If you don't start this way it will prompt you to have both ps4s to the same router and then the transfer will happen via the router. The difference basically is in time. If you connect the ps4s to each other you will easily shave 4 to 5 hours as opposed to doing the whole process by each PS4 connected to your router directly. Hope this makes sense and I didn't confuse anyone.

Great video Vince. I followed your instructions and it worked a treat. No loud thumping music, no in your face presentation and nicely paced. Many thanks for your help, Cheers buddy.

I just got a PS4 Pro on Friday, and I had a ton of network issues with my internet provider, but once I got through all that, I followed the steps on this video, and it worked like a charm. I had a 500 gb PS4, with as many games as I could put on it, and it took about two and a half hours with a good ethernet cable. Thanks, Vince. You saved me a LOT of time!

A couple of side-notes:
1. I had the same issue once everything was transferred, where I couldn't play games that were downloaded from the PS Store. Deactivating then reactivating the PS4 Pro as shown in the video worked without a hitch.
2. I had to deactivate my old PS4 via the old PS4, rather than through the new PS4 Pro. It wouldn't let me do it via the new one, or online.

2 years old and still the best video I’ve seen to explain this whole process. Just bought my PS4 pro last night and needed to do this exact procedure

My PS4 is 500 GB and was basically full. Following your video it said would take me 106 minutes to transfer everything including applications, save data, photos and videos, settings and themes. When I first started it, it said it was going to take 3 hours, but once I was up to 5 or 6% transferred, it said it would take 112 minutes. Everything worked great!

I’m planning to get PS4 pro last of us and I want all my data to come with it, thanks for the help

[branbold]

Thank you sir. Just got my 500million limited edition PS4 pro. This is going to make it way easier than backing up then restoring. Saving me time😁😁. Getting ready for Spider-Man tmrw

THANK YOU so much for this. All the other how to's miss out so many of the steps. You've done step by step on every prompt and made it so easy to follow. Why other youtubers have neglected to include them I have no idea. Your how to is by far the best one, thanks again !

[matthewjansen]

After reading the official Sony method I was stumped, did all the steps but the PS4 Pro wouldn't find the old one until I followed your steps. Thanks for the run through! :)

Thought I had to wait until after Christmas to get my Pro. Well, guess I was a good girl. Because I recieved my Christmas bonus. Got my Pro and went straight to YouTube. You were #2, But will always be #1 in my heart. Thanks for the video. You made one thing less stressful during the holidays season.

[anunohmouse]

I'm a very happy lady thanks to your video. It's easy enough to read the instructions and follow but I prefer to watch someone else do it with me to make sure I'm not screwing anything up. Thanks to your video everything went smoothly. You the man, thank you!

[VAwitch]

Just did the same (slim to Pro). Very painless. Great video!

I wish more people explained and demonstrated things like you. Great job and well spoken.
