Anybody have experience on this:
from 10.11 (iMac 2007) -> 10.15 (iMac 2012).
I've tried to copy users and apps over a week now.
First with fw->tb-adapter. Then with ethernet.
Migration assistant said with fw that it will take 8 hours and 16 hours with ethernet (somehow imac2007 got only 100M speed with new switch). First attemp I terminated after about 40 hours and second one after about 100 hours.
Nice that this procedure is SOOO non-interactive.

3rd attempt was from time machine backup. Even that terminated with error, but that took only few minutes.

Should I maybe downgrade the imac2012 to some earlier os version?

Is this usually this hard?
