Q: Using Migration Assistant on Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz
I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro 25 GHz to replace my aging Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz (PowerPC) running OS X 10.4.11. The new Macbook has OS X El Capitan loaded and I need to transfer all my files, pictures, emails etc. from my old laptop. The sales guy said that I should be able to use the Macbook Pro Migration Assistant via Wifi on initial startup to transfer everything.
I'm just a little dubious whether this is possible, as Apple suggest that OS X 10.6.8 is required. I don't want to attempt this and end up corrupting the new Macbook Pro. I know that I can use an external hard drive and drag & drop files, pictures etc but how I can transfer email and other settings, I'm not sure.
Appreciate any advice on this procedure.
