Hi,

I think you'd better start from scratch. Reformat, reinstall macOS, then Migration.

Mac Studio Ultra keeps rebooting after migration Just got my Mac Studio, and after running Migration Assistant, it just keeps rebooting. It gets to the logon screen, I type my password, it blinks, the progress bar gets to about 60%, then it reboots.. back to the Logon screen. I've tried all the online tips for resetting NVRAM (not sure the Command-Option-R-P combination is even being read from the wireless keyboard?), booting into Safe Mode, ran Disk Utilities First Aid, and even tried to restore the OS. Same symptoms... any suggestions?
