Migrating data from old mac mini to new mac mini with just one monitor

How do I use Migration Assistant to migrate data to new M1 Mini from old intel Mini? I only have one monitor. Do I have plug and unplug monitor between the two boxes? Not sure that's going to go very well...

Mac mini, macOS 11.6

You use a Time Machine backup of your old Mac, connect to your new Mac and start the update process. You do not need two monitors. The process is very straight forward.
