Is there anything to look out for when migrating from Intel MBP to Apple Silicon MBP?

by Poster Apr 14, 2025 42
I am recently going to upgrade my old Intel MacBook Pro to a new Apple Silicon MacBook Pro. I would like to ask what I need to pay attention to during the migration process? Can it be done silky smoothly with migration assistant? I asked about the migration of bootcamp earlier (https://www.v2ex.com/t/1122758). Currently it looks like Apple Silicon doesn't support bootcamp anymore. The solution found so far is to use Parallels Desktop.

    I migrated it directly. I couldn't use the "iPhone mirror" at first, but then I got better by myself. 😂

    I migrated directly, and then some of the software has the Apple Silicon version, so I downloaded the software corresponding to the Apple Silicon version, directly installed and replaced the original one, so that the original settings are still there without reconfiguring it.
