"select the information to transfer" for migration assistant

With using the new migration assistant (from old Mac to a new iMac 24" late 2021), we are still seeing spinning wheel of calculating all sets of files on new Mac. Should we wait till all files are calculated before selecting "continue"? Or, just select continue while it is still calculating the files?


Thanks,

Allan

Hi, we were able to just select "continue" even though all the files that we selected were still calculating (and not stuck). It worked without an issue.


We then selecting the accounts to use with new passwords and went from there.


Everything is transferring over. This may take some time.
