Apple Discussions could not provide an answer: can I transfer all my files including the system from my MacBook Pro 2009 with El Capitan, to a MacBook 2010 with Sierra installed?
If I understand correctly, it's NOT possible to make a move using Migration Assistant from 10.11 to a Mac with 10.12. Please note that I do not care about the files or data already on MacBook with Sierra.
My MacBook is faster than my MBP, but it does not have a FireWire port, so I have to use Ethernet.
So my problem is: if I use Migration Assistant when both laptops are connected, is it possible first to ERASE the MacBook SSD drive, and then migrate all El Capitan files to a newly formatted SSD on MacBook?
Or maybe, I CAN erase Sierra before I connect two Macs together?
I was unable to find an answer anywhere.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
