Hello guys! I am starting Unity, but my desktop is broken, so I am using my laptop. I really want to start Unity just on this laptop, but I want to wait until my MUCH better desktop gets fixed in about 2-3 weeks. Can I start my project on this laptop then transfer it over to my desktop when it gets fixed? Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry for putting this in the wrong section, I realized it 2 seconds after I posted it. Won’t happen again.
Yes, you can just copy and paste the files in a folder and use Unity’s project opener to find your project
Make sure that you copy the ENTIRE project folder, specifically including Assets, ProjectSettings, and Library.
A lot of people make the mistake of only copying the Assets folder. That keeps your raw assets, but loses the asset database, effectively losing any import settings and corrupting all of your scene files.
Ok thanks! And also sometime or another, not for awhile, but sometime, I want to switch over to a Mac computer. Will I be able to transfer my project from a Windows computer to a Mac?
Yes you can.
Just copy your project folder on your mac like you would do on PC.
The only difference is that unity will need to reimport all your assets which can take a while depending of the size of your project.
Maybe hes talking about a licence on different machines, this question seems way too basic.
Well if you use the free version, I don’t think there are any restriction to switch your platform your working on.
On the free version at least you can do it and it’s compatible between mac and pc.
Export your project as a unitypackage file. Then reimport it on your new platform. This keeps all metadata intact between platforms.
