Migrating from one macbook air to another. Good morning I started using WiFi to migrate data from a 2014 macbook air to a macbook air 2017 and it has taken ages and is still running almost 10 hours later. What do I need to do to speed it up? I have them alongside each other connected to power. I now see that I should have used a cable and connected them that way, but what would the procedure be now and what cable would I require? Thanks for your help.

I'd think the Apple dongle thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt along with a thunderbolt cable is all you need

Thank you for your response. I think the mid 2012 Macbook Pro has a "Thunderbolt" rather than a "Thunderbolt 2" port. Do you know if that compatible with this "Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2" adapter?
