My wife and I share a Mac as different "users." If I use Migration Assistant to transfer data to my new Macbook Pro, will it also transfer everything from her side (her documents, music, etc.)?
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
I heard Migration Assistant lets you do that. I found it very complicated to set up, and easy to make a mistake. Since I take care of several Macs that regularly require bootable exact copies I paid for and have used Carbon Copy Cloner from Mike Bombich https://bombich.com/
Although the CCC4 is ~ $40,- (it is compatible with El Capitan) you can download a free 30 day trial. It is so easy to set up and make a clone. I never had a hick-up using it many times. Bombich is a well known reputable developer you can contact any time.
Yes when your going through the migration assistant it will keep your user accounts separate, and should allow you to not transfer certain users. Move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support
Does Migration Assistant transfer other users data?
