Restoring old iMac to factory settings affect my new Macbook Air that already had everything transferred to it.

All my information already transferred to my new Macbook Air... without me doing a thing. When I restore factory settings to my old iMac...will it also do it to the new MacBook?


iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

No. The OS changes needs to be done to each Mac separately.
