M1 Migration Assistant not working

The new M1 Mac says the other Mac (2016) is running an older software version (is running Big Sur 11.1) so cannot be used as the source - what to do?

Greetings loveepee,

Please check out this support article on Migration Assistant: Move your content to a new Mac. Specifically, use the "Get ready" section on what is needed for Migration Assistant to work correctly.
