I have an older Mac Mini that runs Leopard and I am about to purchase a new Mac Mini running Lion. I searched a bit but still haven't been able to get some definitive answers as to how best to migrate. Any help would be much appreciated...
- Should I use the Migration Assistant or Setup? I have heard people say Migration Assistant will create an unwanted user; Is this true?
- I have two external drives: one for Time Machine and one that holds all of my media (including the iTunes library file). Should I use Time Machine to migrate or connect the two machines directly?
- Will the external media drive present any issues, particularly with the iTunes library file living there?
- Is there anything else I should know or am overlooking?
Thanks as I have never done this before and would like to be sure I am doing it right before purchasing the new machine.
