The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. Set up your MacBook Pro - Apple Support

If you are having issue try a direct connection to the old Mac if you have the correct cables or try a different backup to move your data.


A cable connection is always preferred compared to WiFi
