Plus I had the advantage of migrating 500Gb to 1TB which in the end was my saving grace. This is my experience it may/ probably won't work for everyone else. So I figured I'd post a few details of what I learned this week. There are A LOT of worthless 'Migration Assistant' explanations out there. Have access to the source machine during the day for work! I don't think this is too much to ask in 2018 for a transfer of 500Gb to run over a LAN or USB-C 3.1 with all modern equipment).Copy my machine as completely as possible (IE all my bash-profiles (I am a developer), and installed frameworks).It is worth noting I wanted to do a few things: TLDR I put the destination machine in target-disk mode, connected it with USB-C 3.1 Male-to-Male cable and used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a new sparsebundle on the root of the drive, than ran migration assistant after mounting it while running a dummy account. I wait to see the size of the Users folder, the size of the Apps folder, etc. So, now, I always wait for the scan of the source disk to complete. Since I was transferring everything, I didn't wait for it to calculate the sizes of all these different things, and just said 'Go' or 'Next' or whatever to get it started. After selecting the source disk, MA will scan the source and identify the files, accounts, apps, etc. The other thing I do, because it didn't work correctly once when I did it a different way. I would reset the 2018 MBP, create a dummy account, do all the updates, and then when the system was running perfectly, then I'd start the Migration Assistant using the 2017 MBP in Target mode. I create an extra 'Admin' or other dummy account which I delete later. I also don't do the Migration until I've gotten the new computer completely up-to-date, etc. I always use either Target Mode or an external disk when I use Migration Assistant. It sounds like your Migration didn't work, even though you didn't get error messages saying so at the time.
