Hi dlammers,


So we would need to know more about your old laptop. What was it, what OS. Also, are you able to remove the SSD/HDD and put that into an external drive enclosure to then, hook up to your new MacBook? Also, realize the SSD/HDD format of your old laptop maynot be compatible with your Mac's, if it is say NTFS (it can be read; but you will not necessarily be able to keep permissions, et al.).


So, once you let us know more, we can try to help further.


Cheers,


Anthony
