[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1843749, member: 204485"] Now comes the difficult part. To my knowledge you cannot restore data from a time machine backup made with macOS Sierra to Mojave because the filing system is different. Apple switched to APFS from HFS+ between Sierra and High Sierra. If however you still have your old device and you could upgrade it to High Sierra then make a new TM backup that would be compatible and could be used during setup of Mojave to restore your data. Alternatively scrap your Time Machine backup and use the external HD to copy the files you really want to save eg, documents, photos, music you have ripped from CD's etc. Assuming you were using iCloud backups before, all your contacts, calendars, Mail, accounts, etc will be restored anyway as soon as you login to iCloud with your Apple ID.
