[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1937137, member: 376394"] If the Time Machine is only a backup, then there is no need to worry about it, because all the data exists in its present location. And Migration Assistant on the new Mac will do all the work. I doubt the TM drive will work with these newer macOS versions. Personally, with my Mac Studio, I set it up as new. Copied (drag and drop) all my personal files/data to the new Mac. Also I use iCloud, so most of my data is ready to be accessed once I download them. I then install the software and I’m good to go. It is time consuming but with a new device, to me it’s worth the extra work. [/QUOTE]
