Migrate from mac to mac with HDMI through Thunderbolt port

Hello, is it possible to use an HDMI cable (with a thunderbolt to hdmi at both ends connected to the mac) Migration Assistant to send information from a mac to another mac? This is because I have the connectors and the wire, but I don't have a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable. Thanks!!

In a word "No"

AThere are other ways though.

What are the specs of each computer?

Mac Air 2011 and Mac Air 2012, both running Mavericks OS.

I tried to migrate with Wifi but takes like 40 hours and always in the middle seems the connection fails and have to cancel migration.. Maybe I can do it through an External Hard Drive? Otherwise, I will have to buy the thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable, but was trying to avoid it since I don't find any other use for it. Thanks again!!
