Migration Assistant and Setup Assistance both transfer from TimeMachine, a different Mac or Windows. The TM backup is one of the possible the sources.


You have to have two elements: source and destination. All Migration Assistance Dows is supply a means for the transfer. It can't work without a source and destination.
