Will I need two keyboards and two mice to transfer data from my old iMac (11.7.10) to my new Studio using an ethernet cable?

Migration Assistant Using USB-C I just picked up my new Mac Studio. When I set it up I want to migrate everything, via Migration Assistant, from my late 2014 (purchased in 2018) Mac Mini to the new Mac. Can I connect them with a USB-C cable (male to male) to run the migration? Thanks

No, provided you are willing to unplug and re-plug.

I would use a TM backup to migrate and not connect the two Macs. I found that more straight forward and reliable.
