I have two Macs currently, an M2 MacBook and a 12" MacBook. The M2 has my current user account on it, but the 12" has a couple of other uses ID's (my daughters and my moms-both done for backup purposes) that I'd like to consolidate to my new MacBook Neo coming next week. Is it possible to somehow use Migration Assistant or some other tool to copy all three users (myself, my daughter & my mom) to my new computer?

Thanks in advance.
 
When the new Mac comes, migrate YOUR account (only) from the M2 during the initial setup.
You would want to bring over apps, settings, data also.
Do this first, before the other accounts.

Now, with your account up-and-running on the Neo, open Migration Assistant and migrate ONLY the accounts for your daughter and mom that are on the 12"MB. Don't migrate YOUR account from that one.

Do you have backups for the M2 and MB you have now?
I find it easiest to migrate from a cloned backup (created with either CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper).

Thank you. That is fantastic
