Hi All,
I am replacing my late 2012 iMac 27 inch which suffered a fusion drive crash last week.
Just have a technical question regarding setting up the new iMac from the time machine backup.
The thing is that my old imac had a 3TB fusion drive and I anyway needed now more space and also wanted to go away from fusion drive to SSD so my new imac has only a 256GB SSD and in addition I will use a external Thunderbold 3 disc with 4TB for storing pictures etc.
I have my time machine backup on a 3TB time capsule and my question is now how should I set up the new iMac since the whole backup wll of course not fit on the internal SSD. Is there a way to choose what to tranfer or install where? I have never done this so it would be good to have some information in advance.
Also my old iMac was not running Mojave so I dont want to restore the full backup with the old OSX etc.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Tom
