Hello, K DeSchryver.


Here are three common options:

• Use a USB connected HDD or SSD to transfer the files.

• Use a USB flash drive (a.k.a. thumb drive)

• Use the Mac mini connected directly to the new Mac - Transfer files between two Macs using target disk mode - Apple Support


These are probably listed in order of ease.

How much data / how many files need to be transferred?
