[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1301341, member: 46727"] You should be able to use Time Machine instead. After getting everything you wish on to the good Air machine, make a complete Time Machine backup to an external drive. When your son turns on the new MBP it will ask him if he wishes to transfer files and the method. Choose Time Machine and attach the external drive to the MBP. The Time Machine backup will not overwrite any of the Lion system files, but it will transfer applications and settings along with any data, documents, etc. [/QUOTE]
