Your first(?) question in general is searchable.

macOS User Guide may suffice for file transfer; or system migration.

..However the idea may have mixed results; where newer is different..

Use the macOS User Guide - Apple Support

A user guide "appears as "Essentials" in newest macOS, from their link.


This older 'link' may show detail areas within Apple support site.

Because you've replied to initial question, with another;

first, takes on different meaning. The migration/transfer

is another topic, that has additional links in User Guides.
