Got a PlayStation Plus account? You probably do, since it's required to play games online – and you really should, too, since it comes with free games every month and other bonus perks. One of those perks is 10GB of cloud storage, thankfully upgraded from 1GB last year, and you might need it when making the upgrade.

You can use that storage to toss all of your save files, screenshots, and other data into the cloud, and then download anything you want local again on the PlayStation 4 Pro by accessing the cloud storage from the Settings menu.

If you you're not already automatically saving games to the cloud, you can set it up by going to: Settings > Application Data Management > Saved data in system > Upload to online storage

Downloading saves is also in Application Data Management, but you'll instead just need to follow: Saved data in online storage > Download to system storage

Remember, games themselves aren't uploaded to cloud storage, but given the 10GB limit, that wouldn't be too much help anyway. Luckily, that's no problem: you can download any digital games again from the PlayStation Store, while disc games can be manually reinstalled on the PS4 Pro.

This process requires a bit more hassle than using an Ethernet cable, but at least it frees you up to sell or give away the standard console before bringing the PS4 Pro home.
