    In this example, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If it has the same name as an account already on your new Mac, you'll be prompted to either rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you choose to rename, the old account will appear as a separate user on your new Mac with a separate home folder and login. If you choose to replace, the old account will delete and then replace the account on your new Mac, including everything in its home folder.
  2. Click Continue to start the transfer. Large transfers may need several hours to be completed.
