Hi ... I'm sure this question has been answered, but I was not successful in finding any relevant posts using the search tool, so ...
I recently got a mini with Big Sur installed on it. It has a 256GB SSD. After upgrading to the latest maintenance level on Big Sur, I wanted to use migration assistant (MA) to transfer files from the older mini (running El Capitan) to the new mini. The El Cap mini is using around 60GB of space on its hard drive, so it should easily fit on the new Big Sur mini.
Started up MA on Big Sur, told it to transfer files from another mac. Both minis are on the same wifi network, and I can access files on the El Cap mini through the network from the Big Sur mini. BUT - all MA does is show a spinny icon and says it's looking for other servers. Not sure what the issue is here - can you help?
Regards,
Bill S.
