Migration Assistant copies all of your files to your new Mac so that you don't have to copy your files manually.

• If your files are currently on a Windows PC, follow the PC migration steps instead.
• If your new Mac is using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 or earlier, follow the Mountain Lion migration steps instead.

Apple - MacBook Pro - 16' Display with Touch Bar - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - AMD Radeon Pro 5300M - 512GB SSD (Latest Model) - Space Gray Model: MVVJ2LL/A SKU: 6366564. Vermont's source for Macs, iPods, and thousands of accessories, new, used, and refurbished. Apple authorized warranty service and repair for iPhones, MacBooks, iMacs, iPads and all of your Apple. Apple’s most portable laptop is the MacBook Air, a laptop that sacrifices a few bells and whistles (and is feather-light as a result). MacBook Airs are great for anyone who travels a lot; the ultra-thin profile fits easily in just about any bag or purse.

• Install all available Apple software updates on both Mac computers. Install any updates for your third-party apps as well.

4. Click Continue.

On your new Mac:

On your old Mac:
If you started your old Mac in target disk mode or are migrating from a Time Machine backup, skip these two steps.

1. If you see a security code, make sure that it's the same code as on your new Mac.
2. Click Continue.

On your new Mac:

1. Choose the backup to transfer information from.

In the example above, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If you transfer an account that has the same name as an account on your new Mac, you're asked to rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you rename, the old account appears as a separate user on your new Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account overwrites the account on your new Mac, including everything in its home folder.

After Migration Assistant is done, log in to the migrated account on your new Mac to see its files. If you're not keeping your old Mac, learn what to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your old Mac.

Mac computers that have any of the following ports can connect to HDMI devices. Learn how to identify the ports on your Mac.

• HDMI port: Connects directly to HDMI using an HDMI cable.
  
• USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port: Connects to HDMI using an adapter, such as the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.
• Mini DisplayPort: Connects to HDMI using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable.

Mac computers that have an HDMI port comply with HDMI 1.4b and support:

• At least 1080p video over HDMI, and some Mac models support higher resolutions when connecting to 4K displays, 5K displays, and Ultra HD TVs
• 8-channel/24-bit audio at 192kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1, and traditional stereo
• HDCP-encrypted playback from iTunes and QuickTime Player (version 10). Safari in macOS Sierra or later also supports HDCP-encrypted playback, if the web page is HTML5-enabled and the content is FairPlay Streaming-enabled and delivered using Media Source Extensions or HTTP Live Streaming.

If using an adapter, check the specifications of the adapter to learn about supported resolutions and other details.
