Both the old and new computers, in the utilities folder should have migration assistant. You will need to open them on both computers. If you connect or have on the new MBP an ethernet connection, you can do it that way. If not target disk will work. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204350 The old computers system files will not over write the new computers system files. But it should install everything you need for the apps to run that you have on the old computer. Those apps may need to be upgraded once installed. To run and not cause problems on the new computers operating system. If something you transfer does not have and upgrade or does not say it will work in the new operating system. You may have to uninstall it. When doing that, It is best to use an uninstaller for that app. or check with the software company it belongs to, to see how. Aftermarket uninstaller s do not always get all the files. And some of them can be problematic.
