merging content to another computer

So if I am merging my macbook air to another device, do they have to be the same operating system?

No. You can migrate to a computer running a newer OS, and you can manually move files between OS versions.

When migrating from an old Mac to a new Mac, do both computers need to be on the same operating system for the transfer to complete correctly? This is something I'm wondering because I'll be buying a new Mac later this year and I'm still running Mojave. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Does migrating from an older Mac to a new Mac mean moving or copying files over? I want to migrate from an old MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Air. Will migrating actually move the files--or just create a copy on the new Mac (so that both computers have the same thing). My preference is that both computers would have the same files--thanks for your time! MV
