To download them again to your PS4 Pro, head back to Settings > Application Saved Data Management select Saved Data in Online Storage, click on Download to System Storage and you'll see a list of all the games there are save files available for. Then your machine will backup your saves online automatically, when your PS4 is in sleep mode. Also head to Settings > Power Saving Settings > Set Features Available in Rest Mode and ensure the checkbox for Stay Connected to the Internet is ticked. If you don't have that option switched on, head to Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Auto-Upload on your old PS4 and click the checkbox of each game you want to back up to the cloud. If you are a PlayStation Plus member and have the option to save games online enabled on your older PS4, you can download them back to your new machine in order to simply carry on. How to restore your save files from the cloud Follow the instructions and make yourself a cup of tea (or several) while you wait for the process to finish. Once set up correctly and switched on, sign into the PlayStation Network on your PS4 Pro, update the system software to the latest version if necessary, and head to Settings > System > Transfer Data from Another PS4. Otherwise, if they are both connected to your home network by cable, you don't need to connect them together. But, if you do it through the two consoles' Wi-Fi connections you still need the Ethernet cable to directly hook them together, through their respective LAN ports. It is possible to do it over a wireless or wired home network.

You also need a lot of patience as the transfer process can take a fair while, especially if you have a lot of games stored on your hard drive. You will need at least one Ethernet (LAN) cable and both machines to be switched on at the same time. That includes users and their settings, games and save files, plus screengrabs and video clips. If you've upgraded to a PS4 Pro from an original or second generation PS4 you can directly transfer your important data from the old console to the new.
