[QUOTE="SteveSawyer, post: 1938718, member: 415609"] Thanks! That was how I was going to do it. But manufacturers’ tutorials have a nasty habit of assuming every step proceeds as expected. I’ve lived in the Real World too long to make that kind of bold assumption!! ;-) But Apple does seem to have a better track record than most, so I’ll put my trust in those instructions and keep my fingers crossed! Oh - one question. What is the preferred method to connect the two? I have an Ethernet cable, but I’m guessing that would need to be a specially-wired “null” cable. The old machine has two thunderbolt ports (20Gb/sec) so I’m guessing that would be the fastest & most reliable connection method. True? [/QUOTE]
