Running Beta and Migration

[kingsrule5]

My new MBP is due in this week. I am current running the 10.15.6 beta on my 2014 MBA.

I was going to use Time machine to back up and use migration assistant. What is the best way to do this?

Do I need to create a dummy account on the new pro, register and install the beta, and then clear it and run migration assistant?

Is there a better way to do this? Note I do want to bring applications and files over with this.

No easy way need to update to latest OS like Big Sur and then run migration

Yep - you have to upgrade the new machine to the OS your old machine is running - its a PITA but it's what must be done. Apple needs to address this because these are incremental updates and it shouldn't be this labor intensive to migrate.

agreed. Maybe I get lucky and Tuesday the will release. It is beta 4 so it’s not crazy.

Also this got moved to Big Sur but I’m not on that beta. Just Catalina .6 beta.
