Basically the process is:
I. Start the OLD machine holding down T until the dancing Thunderbolt or Firewire logos appear.
2a. If the OLD machine has a Thunderbolt port (HAS to have the lightening bolt icon above) then use the
Thunderbolt cable to link the two machines.
- Or -
2b. If the OLD machine does not have a Thunderbolt port, then plug one end of the FireWire cable into
the old machine, and the other into the FireWire to Thunderbolt adapter, and the Thunderbolt end into
the new machine.
(Both cable solutions arrived earlier.)

3. Run setup, when asked to migrate existing data, choose from another disk, and select ONLY the
home folder from the Documents & Data section. UNCHECK ALL OTHER OPTIONS (Applications,
Computer Settings, Other files & folders, etc.)
4. When prompted to log into iCloud use the AppleID that we use iTtmes / AppleTV:
jeeitunes@gmail.com I Jenjen12
5. Once the migration completes, log into the new machine with the old machine's account credentials.
6. Install:
Microsoft Office

7. Run all software updates (Open Word and choose Help > Check for Updates and in the Mac AppStore
choose the Updates tab).
8. Once you've confirmed the data is on the new machine and working, we can erase the old machine
by opening /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
Select the icon for the old volume underneath the icon that should say "Target Disk Mode" (I'm
assuming
the computer is still attached via Target Disk Mode — if not, repeat steps 1 & 2 above) and click
Erase.
Select Security Options and click the first tick mark on the left to overwrite the drive with a single pass
of
zeros (this may take a couple hours).
Once it completes, eject the old drive and shut the machine down. It's now ready to be disposed of
safely
(the next person will have to reinstall the operating system).
