I thought to post a fresh topic with details from their post. I’m only putting confirmed details and while other commanders will comment as they please, the point of this is so anyone coming to see what is what, they can read this. They will not need to scroll through pages of another topic anywhere else on the console or PC forum to get the details. I will update this as I see confirmed details, anything else I will not add in the Original Post here.

UPDATE: Confirmed Console wil be able to copy to PC
Console Account Transfers
As announced in our post last week, we're very happy to be able to tell you that console account transfers are making progress behind the scenes, with the dev team hard at work to make sure as much as possible is transferred over should you wish to copy your Commander from console to PC. Secondly, if you've purchased Elite Dangerous on consoles, we'll be giving you a free copy of Elite Dangerous on PC. This will all be done in a limited-time window and the exact details are still being confirmed, but we'll be giving you plenty of heads up so you can prepare if needed.
The team are also gathering the most frequently asked questions about console account transfers so that we can provide you with the answers all at once.

Console Profile Transfers
We can now confirm that players will be able to copy their profiles from console to PC in light of Odyssey’s cancellation on Xbox and PlayStation. This process will be time limited and optional. We will provide a date for this process once it is confirmed.
The original profile will remain playable on console and the new PC profile will be a copy. Only one profile may be copied over per copy of the game. Please also be aware that this will be a one-time only process.
Elements that will be copied
Elements that won’t be copied
*The process will require a new name to be chosen if the original name is not available on PC.
**ARX balances cannot be transferred. We recommend that anyone who submits their account for the transfer process purchases any desired cosmetics beforehand. Any unspent ARX post-transfer will remain available on the original console profile.
