Migration assistance says new MacBook has an older iOS

Trying to transfer to MacBook that had hard drive reformatted. Cannot transfer because IOS is newer on MacBook that has the profile. Is there a way to upload iOS on MacBook that had hard drive reformatted so I can transfer data?

iOS is iPhone or iPad. MacOS is Mac. If your reformatted Mac has a lower MacOS than the backup, update the Mac to the appropriate MacOS, then use migration assistant.
