Do I transfer the system and network on my new macbook pro.

Do I transfer my “system & network” when setting up my new macbook pro from a time machine external disk?

I would transfer everything... never had an issue.


This is how you pickup right where you left off, old machine to new machine.


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


The second best way is use the Migration Assistant.
