I skipped my Migration Assistant when I first installed my new MacPro.
Now I want to use it with my Time Machine Backup disk.
How do I proceed?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7
Transfer to a new Mac with Migration Assistant - Apple Support
Migration Assistant is in the Applications Folder within the Utilities Folder.
This article from Apple should supply the needed information
If the New Computer is an Apple Silicon M1, M2 or M3 computer ?
One Size does Not fit All
If the new computer is going to be the Apple Silicon M1 / M2 / M3 Equipped Computer - would suggest Only Migrating the User Account and nothing more.
Some have had success and if issues do arise. These users are usually well seasoned in Trouble Sooting and make thing right again.
Others have been left with a mess when Migrating everything.
Apple Silicon Only Support everything 64 bit and there is no workaround.
Issues that may exist on the older computer will be migrated to the New Computer.
This would badly pollute the new Original and Pristine installation of the new OS.
Applications, extensions and Software Drivers may or may not even work on the new computer.
IMHO - it would be best to only install new application etc Directly from the Developer or the Apple Apps Store.
Due Diligence on New Applications and make sure they are Sonoma / Ventura / Monterey / Big Sur compatible and factor in the ARMs CPU of the Apple Silicon Computer
