One important note: If you plan on getting rid of your old PS4 after the transfer, make sure that you erase all of your data before handing it off. This process does not automatically erase your data from your original console. If you intend to swap out the hard drive in your Pro later, I strongly suggest that you install a new, larger drive in your Pro before you transfer the data instead of putting it off. Personally, I have gone through three drives in my launch PS4, starting with an initial upgrade from the standard GB hard drive to a 1TB Toshiba drive.
In less than two years, I was running into space issues with 1TB and upgraded again, this time to a 2TB Samsung hard drive. Also, if you have a slow internet connection it can take many hours to download a single game.
Even with the improvements implemented by Sony to make the transfer of game data to a new hard drive easier, it is still a time-consuming process to move all of that data from one drive to another.
The PS4 Pro is a nice upgrade for existing owners of standard Playstation 4s and a solid gaming console for new Playstation gamers. With a little effort, you can quickly have it up and running with all of your existing data transferred to your new machine so that you can concentrate on more fun things, like playing games.

Read through the instructions below, and you can transfer your PS4 content to your PS4 Pro and get your shiny new console up and running. Your old PS4 should be powered on, but doesn't need to be connected to a screen.
They can be connected either via WiFi, or to your router using an ethernet cable. You'll need to keep a spare ethernet cable handle for one of the next steps. Click that to get started. You'll see a splash screen telling you what you can and can't transfer, specifically users and settings, games and saved data, screenshots and video clips. There's one of two ways you can do this next bit. Either you can use that spare ethernet cable we mentioned above to connect the PS4 Pro and your old PS4.
Or you can connect them both to the router using one ethernet cable each. The transfer process is identical, so it's really up to you which method you use.
Just make sure they're both turned on, ok? Once your Pro finds your old PS4 you'll need to press the power button on the old console for one second to identify it.
