Migration Assistant assistance needed

I received my MacBook Pro back from being serviced (battery failure) … The “Migration Assistant” wants to know how to transfer my information…. I do not have an external drive with a back up - I assume data is backed up in “Time Machine” … I don’t know how to access this data. How do I get my data back?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

If you do not have a backup external drive, then there is nothing to migrate from...


unless you have another backup of some sort.
