Does Migration Assistant allow an account on the new mac to inherit a Time Machine backup?
I'm moving from an old MacBook to a new one, in a company environment. I have the old machine backed up to an external HD using Time Machine. The new MacBook comes to me already set up with an account created for me (but empty of user files), so Setup Assistant is not an option.
Will Migration Assistant be able to make the new MacBook inherit the Time Machine backup? In doing so, will it enable associating the existing (empty) account on the new MacBook with the backup of the correct account from the older MacBook? The two accounts (old and new) do have the same username.
In online tutorials, which never exactly match my situation, I see options to migrate entire accounts. But it is not clear whether it can migrate files to an account that already exists on the new computer.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.5
