Q: How to migrate data with setup assistant from Mavericks (MacBook) to El capitan (MacBookPro)
Hi,
A few days ago I purchased a refurbished MacBook Pro (El Capitan) and intended to migrate the data from my old MacBook (Mavericks) via Time Machine backup. Annoyingly, the migration assistant does not recognise the HD. It searches and searches, the wheel rotates and rotates..
Searching the web it seems to be a common problem. I also read that alternatively you can use the setup assistant to migrate all programmes and data? Can anybody help me with that and tell me how to do it? Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Thank you. I booted the new one already but haven't done or setup anything on the new one yet. Okay, I wasn't sure about re-formatting the hard drive. So by re-formatting it while connected to the new mac book pro I do not ruin the backup made with the old one?
