Hi -- I'm changing from an old iMac (2016) to a newly purchased one. My question is that if I use Migration Assistant will my desktop and toolbars on the new computer come out the same as on my old one? Also my settings, preferences, etc?

iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.11

Most things should come out the same, some things are changed, for instance System Preferences has a new Format called System Settings, iPhoto may be Photos on the new one etc.
