Update: This method worked perfectly from my old Macbook Pro (early 2015) to new Macbook Air M2. Took about 19 minutes to transfer 48.6GB to the new laptop. No issues at all. Just wanted to throw this out for those wondering how long it takes. Both laptops were on the network, but I also used a direct USB connection between them. Thanks again.

Thank you for posting this, just transferred 200GB of data from 2014 macbook to 2021, didn't have an adapter for usbC so wound up doing it through WiFi and although in the beginning it said 2hrs, it quickly changed and was finished in about 30 min for anyone curious about timeframe, that's 100mbps internet speed.

I tried this. it worked! I only intended to transfer my user data which was about 102 gb. I mainly did it cause I had Logic Pro X files that I wanted to keep without having to spend $100+ on a ssd drive to use once. I connected both laptops (2017 Macbook Pro --> 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro ) with a usb-c and it took about 45ish minutes to transfer it all. so yeah this works like a charm. for other Logic Pro user looking to try to do this, when opening up my projects, I did have to re download all my third party plug ins. but luckily for me, I only had like 4 third party plug-ins I use that I needed to download. logic will tell you what plug-ins are missing so dont worry about writing down all the plug-ins before transferring. :)

I'm less concerned about the files on my desktop than my photos. Thanks for the great video!!!!!!

If the photos are in iCloud, then they should sync when you log back in, otherwise the photos should be there. Once the transfer is complete, the original laptop will still have the data, so if you are concern if you will lose data, that will not happen and you can always try again.
