What's the best method to transfer data to a new 24" M1 iMac?
As I await delivery of my new 24" M1 iMac, I wish to prepare for the transfer of data to it from my current iMac (21.5", late 2012) running Mac OS 10.15.7.
I see various suggestions here in this forum using Migration Assistant, but some questions remain.
Any specific advice regarding the following would be appreciated:
- can I do the entire transfer via an ethernet cable?
- or, what other cables/adapters will I need?
- or can I just do it cordless via my existing private/secure WiFi?
Note: I do have a Time Machine back-up, if needed. The new 24" iMac is maxed-out; 4-port.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
