Reset Mac mini M1 and migrating info from MacBook Air M1

Hello fellow Mac users

I own a 2020 Mac mini M1 and posteriorly, a few months later bought a MacBook Air M1.

I'd like to reset my Mac mini M1 to factory defaults and migrate the info from my MacBook Air to the Mac mini. Both are updated and I use my iCloud account on both.

My questions:

1- How to reste and migrate info from one to the other?

2- Will migrating also trasferì all passwords, applications, browsing stuff etc to the Mac mini'

Thanks in advance for your support, :-)


Mac mini, macOS 13.3

Your Time Machine backup will contain everything when you backup the MacBook Air and when the you use Migration Assistant it will migrate everything from that Time Machine backup unless you chose not to transfer some items.
