Transferring of data from old mac to new Mac

I have a mac2015 with a 512gb where I have 150gb of available space and 126gb of system data. I am thinking of buying the new macbook 14 as the old ports are back. So I wanted to know that when transfering of information from the old Mac to the new, does the system data also get transferred??

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.1

Migration Assistant copies data, user accounts, computer settings and apps. It does not copy the MacOS system.


If you have licensed apps, you need to check with the developer(s) to determine how the license is handled when the app is copied.
