Will migration assistant move over my browser preferences? Saved passcodes? Downloaded programs?

Hey there!


I do a lot of work that requires big programs, so I am switching to a Mac Pro from a Mac Air to have a more powerful machine.


Problem is, I have some very important bookmarks and passwords saved in my chrome browser on my Air. Does migration assistant seamlessly switch everything over? Is there any way to do that if not?


Thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Yes, assuming you did not exclude anything from TM Backup.


Best to use Setup Assistant on 1st boot of the new Mac though.
