Q: How to migrate from macbook pro without thunderbolt to one with thunderbolt?

I want to migrate from my old macbook pro (2008 early spring) to the most recent macbook pro (mid 2015 update).

 

My old laptop is OS 10.9.5. New laptop )s 10.10.3

 

Would like to migrate all my email info, most but not all programs, etc.

 

I do have several I need to  deactivate like Capture One Pro, Adobe CS3 Illustrator and Indesign, and Adobe photoshop/ligthroom CC.

 

Pixelmator and camerabag via the app store, not sure about them. Have to see if they need be deactivated.

 

What would you suggest for the connection. And can I use an adapter for this or will that screw things up.

 

I thought not to try wifi just for the sake of speed.

 

thanks for any tips about the best way to proceed.

 

Morris

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
