Console Profile Copy Process - Live Now!

Well that was a pretty painless experience, now I'm sat watching the little spinning wheel on the "Copy In Progress" page.

Anyone know how we claim our free copy of Horizons? Do they send you a link/download key/etc?
i may be wrong bro but im pretty sure we only get a free copy of the base game,we will need to buy horizons to play it

How do I get my free copy of Elite Dangerous: Horizons?

During the copying process, you will be asked to log into an existing PC account or create a new one.  If you opt to create a new account, a Horizons Licence will automatically be applied to the new account.
 
Your profile is now being copied. Please be aware that you cannot access your account while the process is in progress. This page will indicate when the process is complete. its been like that for a while
It'll probably be like that for a while.
When it first launched this afternoon people were reporting transfer times of 15-20 minutes.
As the evening has gone on, and more & more users have jumped in the queue, that wait time has increased.
A seen people mention times of 1 hour, 1hour 30 minutes, 2 hours...etc.

I'm just leaving that page open and doing something else while I wait for the confirmation email that it's all done.
 
Haven't played in several years so not sure if this is an old bug but all my ships fire groups have reset which is a bit annoying, as I've got no way to access the console save to compare how they were set up.

Aside from that the transfer went smoothly.

Losing the fire groups was an old bug so whilst it's annoying for you losing your fire groups, don't stress out that you can't access your console.

My fire groups seem to get reset every time there's an update so I just have them written down these days :ROFLMAO:
 
Not yet started the copy process, but i'm already thinking to a first world problem:
I have 3 accounts: XB, Steam, Epic. For each of those accounts i'm using a different browser to log into various sites and tools related to those accounts (mainly frontier, inara and edsm), as in Chrome, Firefox and Edge (Chromium).
With the copy process done, i will have a 4th account.

What browser should i use for the 4th one? Obviously it should be something that's as compatible as the 3 already mentioned :rolleyes:

Greetings Commanders,

We’re glad to confirm that the console profile copying process to PC is now available for all console players! Anyone who would like to copy their profile over can check out the following links:
We would like to remind anyone interested in copying their profile that the following elements will not be copied over:
  • ARX Balance. Please ensure that you purchase desired customisations before you complete the transfer. Any unspent Arx will remain on your original console profile
  • Fleet Carriers and their contents. Please decommission these ahead of going through the process so that your resulting Credit balance will be included.
  • Your Commander name if it is already in use by another PC player. You will be given the chance to choose a new name as part of the process
  • Squadron membership
  • Friends lists, Block lists and Private Groups
  • Current mission progress
Thanks as always for your patience and support. Please encourage any friends you know who play on console to consider copying their profile to PC! This option comes at no additional cost, includes a PC copy of Elite Dangerous, and your original console profile will remain available for play.

If you have any issues or need support during the process please contact our Support Team.

Bruce and Sally Please pass on my thanks to the team who created the transfer portal. It was a very smooth and straightforward process. A lot of us have been eagerly awaiting this process. I am now wandering around star ports and seeing my ships from a whole new viewpoint. Amazing.
Thanks you the both of you also. The communication you have been putting out about this has been fantastic.
All the best

Squeeze those butt-cheeks Commander. I am also waiting for my molecules to reassemble on the Other Side. Hang on, you are not alone and we are going to get through this all together.
 
UGH, I wish that this was painless. but alas it isn't.
Cleared PC save to free up my name. ( same name as my console save )
portal will not let me use my name. ( says its unavailable, choose a new name )
name is reserved to my PC account still I guess.

submitted ticket from a link on here with people that have same issue.

Now what do I do? wait for the ticket to get filled and then redo portal?
or will they transfer my stuff when they respond to my ticket?

console name has many first explored tags. So I do not want to change that name, or change it to anything else.

thanks,
