Need advice to migrate from an iMac 2015 to Mac Mini Pro 2023

Hi all!


I wonder how I'll do that. I want to migrate my actual OS and stuff onto the Mac Mini Pro.


I have an iMac late 2015, on which I can't install Ventura.


Monterey (that I have now) is not compatible with Mac Mini M2.


So how will I do the migration?


Thanks!


iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 10.13

Migrating does not move the old macOS App’s into the new Mac. It moves your User data into the new macOS and App’s.


I have personally done this multiple times over the years and never had to fix any so called bugs. The most I ever had to do, was update or upgrade a few third-party App’s.
