I have a late 2016 MacBook Pro that I want to delete, but I am wondering if I back it up to Time Machine, will I be able to access its old files? Even after I have deleted the Mac? And will I also be able to access the old files from a different Mac?
MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
You can Browse other Backup disks in Time Machine, but I would just copy the contents of your Home folder to an external drive.
Mount the drive on the new Mac with "Ignore Ownership…" checked and you can access everything.

Access old Time Machine Backups?
