It walks you through connecting to your Wi-Fi network and creating a user account for your Mac. And it can even transfer your documents, email, photos, music, and movies to your new Mac from another Mac or PC.
    You can sign in with your Apple ID in Setup Assistant. This automatically  sets up your account in the Mac App Store and the iTunes Store, and in  apps like Messages and FaceTime, so they’re ready the first time you open them. It also sets up iCloud, so apps such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Safari have all your latest information waiting for you. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one in Setup Assistant.
