This may be obvious, but I was wondering...I have purchased a new Mac before, and used an external drive with Time Machine backup from a Mac being replaced to set up the new Mac - it works great as you probably know.

My question is this - I have never done this process on a Mac that has multiple user accounts. In that case, are ALL user accounts and data restored to the new Mac using an identical process as when restoring a Mac with just one user account, or is the setup/restore from Time Machine process different? Thanks!
 
Migration or Setup Assistant lets you choose which user accounts and data you want to restore.
