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,

It sounds like Migration Assistant isn’t working correctly for transferring your data to your new computer. We know how important this is for you, and you’re in the right place to find a resolution. 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.

Cheers!
