- 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 CZcams channel on how to fully wipe the data from it.
Many thanks Vince - Jak na to + styl
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.
Thank you King Dave :-)
King Dave what enthernet cable did u use?
RTV_Verge .1 it doesnt really matter i think. It just needs to be the right size
Hi... I got a ps4 slim and put games on it. I have a friend who got his before me but he uses Disk. Can I transfer my games to his console the way u did on this video without having any problem pls answer me
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!!
Felix Alfonso RIGHTT!!! Instructional videos should be like this!
Right brother no questions needed. well Explained was wondering what to ask but the Title really Fit it place correctly
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.
Thanks :-)
@@Mymatevince not for me
@My Mate VINCE its been 4 years, but i have a question. do you have an online link to the ethernet cable you used to connect the 2 playstations? i dont have one, and need to buy one but dont know which one to buy.
@@Mymatevince how do I get both PS4s on the same wifi? Once I sign in to the new one it signs me out of the old one and vice versa. What am I doing wrong?
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.
Thank you it wasn't confusing either
Thank you!
I use my phone hotspot thing. can it work that way
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 !
I’m planning to get PS4 pro last of us and I want all my data to come with it, thanks for the help
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.
Perfect tutorial video, bro. Left me with zero questions.
I love how you explain everything,even tho I've watched this and k how it,I still whatch cause you explain so well,not many people do that,thank you
eT_OwO_- I keep getting errors
Huge thanks to you and your effort in making this video. Just got my regular PS4 replaced by the Pro and I followed this video step by step without any problems whatsoever. Really glad I found this video before trying it on my own. 👍
I wish more people explained and demonstrated things like you. Great job and well spoken.
Thanks for this video, further proof not all heroes wear capes
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
same mate
Thank you so much for a most excellent and helpful video. It helped my transfer process from my ps4 to my ps4 flawless. Like LiK said below so many sites skip and don't show the actual process of hooking the lan cables, etc. Keep up the great videos!
Extremely helpful, you literally answered all the questions I had as if I were talking to you! Thank you so much!!!
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
Pastalover 4life how long does the transfer take? I know it said 60 minutes...... but is that the “actual” duration?
Thanks for the video! This is a great video with easy to follow instructions. You are a saint, Vince!
Thanks so much :-)
Simple, consise, easy to follow. Big thumbs up. Vince, you are now my mate. 👍👍
Thank you. I just ordered a PS4 pro from Amazon on Sunday and it will be here on Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to that. I appreciate you have a video actually detailing the steps in real time besides after the fact, where most just summarize and don't show you anything.
Thanks mate, this was very well explained. saved me a lot of hassle.

hey, thanks a lot, this will definitely help when I get my ps4 pro for Christmas. I love that your British (so am I) because it is much clearer and I can understand every step your saying really clearly :) keep up the great work
Thnx for this i must admit your really good at explaining things vince! Ur videos helped me take apart my 3ds for a service
You taught me a lot about data on ps4 I had to subscribe because I love my ps4 and I have lot and loads of games where I need to transfer save and even add more storage to add more games and you have lead me along the way thank you so so much. Hope you hit 1 million subs
This video was very helpful thank you so much
Just did the same (slim to Pro). Very painless. Great video!
Just got my new ps4 today and all I had to do was watch this vid one time! Huge thanks👍
Great step by step tutorial on transferring data between PS4s. Was the first video that came on the search and most deservingly so. Thank you again!
Great video mate! 👍 You explained it well.
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 CZcams. 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.
Whats you online account
Denise M I legit got mines on the 24th and it keeps saying the lan cable isn’t connected but it is..
Thanks for the guide! I was sort of worried to do this but you made it easy.
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!
hey, just wanted to ask, does the transfer of data takes places over the internet, or the internet is just needed to connect the new device to the psn? because many people don't have 100s of g.b of internet cap.
I still don't know.
The internet is just used to connect you to PSN and download the latest firmware for the new PS4. Otherwise, data transfer does not take place over the internet

Bless you my dear fellow you tuber. As everyone has mentioned before me, you have made this process so incredibly easy for us, considering how daunting it initially seems. I’m sharing your page & videos as a thank you on my social media!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Vince ! You are definitely a great tell how to person. Keep up the good work / videos.
Awesome video, simple and easy to follow with easy explanations of everything. So many people have a way of making convoluted videos when they should be simple.
Just got my God of War PS4 pro and this was very helpful, thank you so much
Thank you soo much that helps like crazy I subbed and liked btw lol
awesome! I am thinking about making the switch to PS4 Pro soon and was a little curious about how to make sure everything transfers correctly, as I am not very tech savvy. great to see it is very straight forward. Awesome video bro. 👍
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! :)
Thank you M8! You helped this Yank a lot and saved me a lot of time. Very specific and to the point. Cheers brother! Thanks again.
I have a problem,, when i start the transfer process , the pro says it will restart and start the transfer. Ok ,,Well, When it restarts it loses it ''''wireless'''wifi signal, because in a previous step,, the directions said to the connect a LAN cable to both machines . .The pro's port senses a cable ,so it goes to wired instead of wireless signal,,, and says connection to server was lost . Mayb someone has an idea . 2 ethernets i guess then.
J. Just go to settings with both devices and choose LAN.They both need to be in the same LAN.
Magnificent video he showed you play by play everything you needed to do step-by-step love the video it was very helpful and did everything I needed to do to transfer my data from one PlayStation to another no external hard drive crap it did what I needed to do thanks mate 👍
Thanks! Really detailed step by step. Had some difficulties with connecting both of my ps4s but when they finally connected it was set from there. Thanks Again!
For some reason, after the ps4 resets and then does the last preperation stage, at 90%, it says "Lan Cable not Connected" and idk why
Ever get that resolved?
So if you transfer all your data from one PS4 to another one will you still have your friends?And also if someone else wants to play with the old PS4 will he be able to play with someone who plays with the new(If you transfer the 1 of thw 2 users in to the new Ps4)
Thanassis Anagnostopoulos yes User 2 (old) will be able to play with User 1 ( new)
This video certainly helped me out when I got the PS4 Pro in 2018 upgrading from a 500gb PS4 console. Keep up the good work.
Excellent straightforward step by step that worked. Thank you!
Will I️t transfer my 2k players over also ?
like an idiot i didnt check if the network cable i was using had all 8 wires in each end (mine only had 4), long story short it was 7-8 hrs vs less than 1 hr for around 320gb of data, epic waste of 2hrs + but got there in the end, thanks for tutorial
Brilliant video, thank you explaining it so well. Mine will probably take bit longer as I swapped out the 500gb hdd for a 1tb and it’s 3/4 full.
My original launch PS4 hasn’t missed a beat and has earned a well deserved rest. The pro has big shoes to fill.
Thank you for making this video I was banging my head trying to make the transfer work, this make it so much easier,thank you
When I both connect the PlayStations with the LAN cable, it says: "LAN cable not connected."
Gods, I have tried two cables.
Help!
I have a Very small penis
Have you resolved the problem...I've got the same response
Um, what if the old PS4 power button broken? What do I do now??
Nekorianz u press reset
Currently doing the transfer process to my new PS4 Pro now. This was so simple and easy to follow. Thanks
Outstanding video! Loved the explanations and directions. I was able to follow along almost exactly as you demonstrated. Thanks for the huge assistance.
Will the people that you are friends with on the old PS4 be transferred to the PS4 pro ?
Yes
No they'll be stuck in the old console. You will have to make new *virtual* friends ^^
Savage God lmaoo of course your not switchinh to another brand i still use my account that i made on ps3 in 2009 and i still use that same account for psr
Ps4*
Lmao did he really ask that question
Am i the only one getting the error “LAN cable not connected” when trying to transfer my data. Plz someone help i already changed the LAN cables and it still doesn’t work
Eduardo
Happening to me too
Bought the Pro an hour ago, already started the data transfer. Thanks for the video 👍🏼
I don't normally comment on videos at all... But, well done sir... You took all the anxiety out of transferring PlayStations! Cheers mate!
My power button doesnt work I have to use my controller to turn it on. How can i transfer the data over?
jayrough Rip lol
@@Lieinfall I figured it out lol
Why does my ps4 says it will take 72 hours?? When it first started it said it will only take 2 hours but it keeps going up??
Same
You are a legend for this. I wish every tutorial video is like this
This is really helpful and easy to follow 😊😄 thank you!
So I have an original ps4 with a 2tb hdd that I put in. Is it possible that I can take that 2tb hdd and replace the 1 tb of a ps4 pro?
Garv Chawla Is there a video showing this? I dont want to risk screwing up.
Chris Carranza unfortunately it isn’t as easy as just swapping hard drives :(
Igniz it should be
No
It’s 180 p
What if the other/old ps4 is broken?
CrazyAlphaChannel define broken how
@@mtw6184 I have the same question. In my case, my PS4 just shut off in the middle of red dead redemption 2. So I go to turn it back on, but it clicks twice then turns itself off immediately. I've unplugged the power chord, the external storage, even the HDMI and Lan cable. Let it rest for hours, then plug it all back in and nothing changes. I press the on button, the blue light turns on, the PS4 makes a clicking noise twice, then turns itself off. I tried everything I can to fix it, my only option now is to get a PS4 pro. So, like the OP, I need a way to transfer all my games and saved data to a PS4 pro with a broken PS4, more accurately one that won't turn on.
@@Jack-rk7jc twice the turn off does it switch from blue to black immeditely
bcuz if thats the case either ur battery is dead or the mother board has been messed with
do everything still stay on the old ps4 ?
Thanks, Vince. Just bought a ps4 pro, and this video helped a lot. Cheers.
still works thank you brother never fails keep up the good work
If i do the data transfer and then i place my external hard drive on my new ps4 does it clean it?
No, because when I tried my hard drive on a different PS4 it showed up with the games stored on the hard drive. The different PS4 did not wipe it or have to format it so the one Hard Drive worked on both PS4s. I did have to sign into my PlayStation Network (PSN) on the other PS4 as the games are linked to my PSN id. Once I did that and uploaded the game saves then it worked the same as if I was playing on the original PS4.
My Mate VINCE thanks :)
My Mate VINCE , question? I’m thinking of getting a PS4 pro, I have the original 4 and I use an external hard drive, my question is can I just plug it in the new one and it will work? Can I move files from external to the internal on the drive?
VINCE ty for that info..
Brady is Clutch
I have your same question..
Do you have the answer bro ?
Do you lose evreything from the old ps4?
OC1101 i know this was 10 months ago but im desperate DID IT LOSE THE DATA FROM THE OLD ONE?
They would not recommend transfer if it would delete the old. Though if that was the case a warning would appear.
Do you have ears if so then listen to the video
Best PS4 pro transfer I found...great work
Thank you so much for this video man. You are doing the Lord’s work.
Wow you have a PS4 pro and I have a PlayStation 2
Mines is better than yours
The Pure Shit virgin joke
PS 2 is my all time favorite system. Lucky that out of all consoles you could have its a ps2. Will still be amazing in 20 years.
Tbh as much as I love playing on my ps4, the ps2 will always be my favorite
@@omarabdul4525 yea but you havent realized your the joke
Very simple and straight forward. Thanks for making this instructional video.
Excellent video, Vince. You just got another subscriber.
My dude, this video helped so much thank you!

some of the easiest instructions ive ever had to follow
This is the perfect how to style video, thank you.
Awesome video vince, very detailed, very helpful. Thank you so much
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!
Super easy explanation video Explains It All both PS4s have to be hooked up to the Internet to do transfer
Probably the most helpful video I’ve come across
THIS WORKED PERFECTLY. YES, IN 2020!!! Just follow the instructions step for step.
I got my ps4 pro yesterday,your video really helped me alot,i transfered the data from my ps4 to the pro it took 6 hours.

Any game with the update go to new ps4? Or only the installed basic game without any update that we already updated..?
Thanks for these guides, great help!
There is shorter videos but with yours it gives me a chill sensation to stay call and do it
Thank man! Your step to step is so simple and easy!
Def using this for my new PS4 pro. As someone who had to delete and redownload games for just 500gb on my old PS4 was a pain in the arse. Thank you mate!
Thank you very much for this video. Was a very easy step by step process. It said to go back and sync my trophies from my old PS4 but they were already correct on my new pro. Thanks again!
Really helpful video, just got my Spider-Man Pro and this was awesome to watch!
