Hello hutch33,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We understand your Migration Assistant appears to be stuck. We're happy to assist you with this.


Depending on the type of connection you're using and the amount of data you're trying to transfer, it could take a while for your files to transfer. How long did you allow the migration to run prior to stopping it?

Please make sure you've followed the "Get ready" section of the referenced article before starting the migration:

Move your content to a new Mac

If possible, connect your Time Machine backup directly to the new Mac and transfer your data. This can provide you a faster and more stable transfer: Restore your Mac from a backup


Best Regards.
