[QUOTE="SteveSawyer, post: 1938729, member: 415609"] Thanks, Patrick. Yes, I found [URL='https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-ethernet-to-connect-two-mac-computers-mchlp1413/mac']this page[/URL] which says it doesn't need to be a crossover cable (Not a "null" cable. I was showing my age - we used to have to use null modem cables back in the day! ;)) And yeah - my plan was to do the migration as part of the initial setup. I can imagine that one can get into all kinds of gnarly dead-ends getting the new machine all set up and then trying to do the migration!! :rolleyes: And thanks for that MacRumors link. I'll look for others too to make sure I have as much info as I can get before I start. [/QUOTE]
