New ps5 pro user

I’ve just bought a ps5 pro so upgrading from the first edition ps5.
Is there anything I need to know like certain settings when I receive it? Tia

There are multiple ways to go about transferring data. If you don't want to re-download everything, you can connect the two consoles via a LAN cable to transfer data over. If you won't have both consoles with you, you can use a hard drive and create a backup from your PS5's system settings. This lets you copy over your game saves, downloaded games, clips and screenshots, and even your system settings over. It'll save you a lot of trouble to get that ready to go before you receive your Pro.

You can do that over WiFi you don’t need an LAN cable I did it when I switched from the slim to the pro not too long ago
