@josephaleo I’m having to wait on a new hub to connect old peripherals, and strongly tempted not to bother with Migration Assistant this time.
@jeremycherfas +1 vote on the non migration. I went that route when going from an Intel mac to the new M1 iMac. Took longer, but nice and tidy when done. 😀👍
@Burk I’m definitely leaning that way. Might take a screenshot of my apps folder, just in case. It worries me a little that I will lose customisations, but I have shared preferences for the most important of those.
@jeremycherfas After two weeks with my new MacBook Pro, I’m still running into little things like customisations and data that I forgot and that need to be transferred or installed. I still have my almost 10 year old MacBook Pro at hand, but you could make a disk image of your old system and mount it when needed.
@Burk Thanks for that.
Migration Assistant doesn’t work for me (because the old iMac can’t be upgraded to a recent enough version of Mac OS!) so this is a handy tip for me!
@ArnoldHoogerwerf Interesting idea. My current start disk is an external SSD. Presumably I could mount that to extract info?
@jeremycherfas yes, that would work as well of course! I guess it’s just a good idea to have all your old data around for quite a while because every now and then something pops up that still needs to be transferred.
