You can either use Migration Assistant by connecting both Mac computers together with a Thunderbolt cable, or let Migration Assistant establish a wireless connection between the two Mac computers. Often, using a cable will result in a quicker migration.

• Thunderbolt 5 (USB‑C) Pro Cable (1 m) - Apple
