Migration assistant won't function on my Macbook Pro.

No. You either use some sort of manual transport such as an external hard drive or you have to use a network. The latter can be Ethernet or wireless. All Macs can handle Ethernet. If you have a new model with only Thunderbolt ports, then buy the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor.


You can use wireless but it will be very slow. If have a lot to transfer it would probably be faster to copy your stuff to an external USB drive.
