Microsoft wants to assure Apple MacBook Pro users that it is easy to switch to the new Microsoft Surface Book convertible laptop. The company has created a web-based guide that will show MacBook Pro users how to use the Surface Book and how to transfer important data between devices.

Microsoft has created a special how-to-guide for MacBook Pro users called "Making the switch: MacBook to Microsoft Surface Book," Tech Radar reports.

The Surface Book is Microsoft's first-ever laptop, which the company hopes can overtake Apple's MacBook series. The head of Surface, Panos Panay, claims it is the best laptop ever created and that it performs 30 percent better than the MacBook.

Microsoft wants MacBook Pro users to know that, not only is the performance and hardware impressive on the Surface Book, but its user experience is similar to that of a MacBook Pro. Microsoft highlights that gestures like scrolling and moving files will be easy for new Surface Book owners coming from MacBooks.

In another example, the guide shows how MacBook Pro users are used to right clicking by placing two fingers on the trackpad, while Surface Book users can right click by placing one finger in the lower right corner of the trackpad. Similarly, Microsoft shows that the command key on the MacBook Pro corresponds to the Ctrl key on the Surface Book.

The guide also shows familiar features in the Surface Book, encouraging users comfortable with Facetime and iMessage to switch to Skype on the Surface Book. For web browsers, Microsoft highights their brand new Windows 10 browser Microsoft Edge as a replacement to the MacBook Pro's Safari browser.

Finally, Microsoft shows how easy it is to move files from a MacBook Pro to the Surface Book. The company points out that iTunes can be installed on the Surface Book, so that MacBook Pro users will not lose any of their songs or videos.

The Surface Book is unique due to its touchscreen and detachable screen, which turn it into a tablet. Microsoft does not highlight this feature on their how-to website, but the company does so in other advertising campaigns.
