Migration Assistant on a new iMac M4

I ordered a new iMac M4 with internal ssd drive 512

Do you recommend using Migration Assistant ( If possible with Apple chip ) to manage / use my new iMac with 1 TB external ssd drive instead of the inner original drive?

Thanks

iMac (M4)

Migrate Only your User Account and nothing more


Knowing before hand that 512 GB SSD Drive would be too small for your present needs and not planning to Future Proof against having to cherry pick files


This kind of smacks of a " Buyer Regard " for not ordering the M4 iMac with a Larger SSD Drive


If that is so, Apple has a 14 Day No Questions Asked Return Policy


Then, order an new M4 iMac with a Larger SSD Drive
