I am trying to migrate everything from a 1 TB MacBook pro to my new M1 MBP with 4TB. Migration Assistant finds something like 5TB of info on the original MBP, so tells me there is not enough space on the M1. That's impossible isn't it? When I run the storage check on the MBP it says I am using around 960GB. The MBP is running Mojave 10.14.6.
MacBook Pro, OS X 10.10
Personally, would Not Migrate Everything from an Intel Based computer onto a new MBP M1 computer.
Reasons, any issues that are on the Old Computer could be migrated to the New Computer. That would effectively cause issue on the new machine.
Factor in the fact the M1 on Big Sur / Monterey and older applications, extensions etc will not automatically Translate to function on the new machine.
It is suggested to Migrate only the User Account and nothing more.
One can move individual files over at a later date.
OK, thanks, that makes sense.
Welcome and good luck.
