[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1570190"] Image? No. The hardware isn't the same, so imaging it won't work at all. But you CAN make a Time Machine backup then on the new machine, before you create any accounts, use Migration Assistant to migrate your account from the TM backup to the new machine, which will intelligently restore Apps, documents and configurations as much as can be done. So what you need is Time Machine, which you have, and an external drive. [/QUOTE]
