Setting up a new iMac and I'm trying to migrate from a Mac mini that is currently running Ventura 13.2. My new iMac is showing the OS as Big Sur 11.2.3. The migrate assistant will not let me migrate from an OS system that is newer than the OS system I'm trying to migrate to.
My new computer finds no new upgrades or updates when I try to change the OS from Big Sur. I'm not sure the proper process to get the most recent OS.
Any help is appreciated!
New iMac as in New to the user "
Or New as in newly purchased from a private sale ?
Tip off to me, is Big Sur macOS 11.2.3 ( 20D91 ) was released on Mar 19, 2021
If the computer Qualifies to upgrade all the way to Ventura macOS 13 that the user update to current version of Big Sur version 11.7.3 First.
Attempting to upGrade with a system that is not yet fully up-to-date on the current version is often time problematic
Computers that qualify for newer version of macOS.
