copying music and photo libraries from my mac to wife's mac

I am thinking of buying a MacBook Pro for my wife who has not had an Apple Laptop before and would like to transfer the Music and Photo's libraries to her new mac. I have time machine for Apple m1 Studio all up to date , so can i copy the libraries directly from there using the migration assistant or is there another better way.

Mac Studio, 14.3

You do not have to use MA to transfer. You can go into the TM drive and copy the photo library from your pictures directory and also the Music library. Just be sure you paste them in the same locations you have on your Mac. You can find where your Music file path is from Music, settings, files. Just be sure both Macs are running the same OS level
