Frozen Migration to new MacBook pro using Wi-Fi Trying to migrate from mid 2014 macbk pro with Big Sur to new 2021 m1 macbk pro with Ventura using Wi-Fi. Setup completed before starting migration. Migration appeared to go smoothly for about 2 1/2 hours. Then screen says about 394,000 files transferred with 5 minutes remaining. That was about 20 hours ago. Screen options are “back” or “cancel”. I don’t know if transfer is complete and not telling me or migration assistant is frozen near the finish line. Don’t know what back means and don’t want to cancel if migration is complete. What’s the best way to get out of this without making things worse?

You can cancel but not sure what will happen but I would use a TM backup to migrate to the new Mac.
