Migration Assistant from Intel Mac Mini to M2 Mac Mini with external boot drives I have an Intel Mac mini that uses an external SSD as the boot and data drive. The internal drive is stays up-to-date with the latest OS but is only there as a backup. How do I set up my new M2 Mac Mini the same way with an external SSD drive for boot and data? I'm confused about how to format the new SSD and install OS before using Migration Assistant. Or, is this even an issue?

Not recommended.

Best Practice is to Install a fresh copy of MacOS from PRIMARY sources on the new drive, then migrate your data using Setup Assistant on first run or Migration Assistant later.

If you insist, the paid version of Carbon Copy Cloner can do the job pretty well.
