Hello just wanted to start off by saying thank you for creating the tutorial on how to create a symlink. As a result I’ve been able to play on my MacBook for months. 

I recently lost my MacBook but I have an iMac I can potentially use. However I’m not sure on how to approach this. I’d like to be able to use the current usb and hopefully not have to wipe it clean before creating a symlink for the iMac.

How do I go about using the usb I used for my MacBook on the iMac? 

appreciate any insight on this. Thank you.

    Plug the USB into the iMac and create the symlink on the iMac 🙂
