Apps · Moving apps to your fast drive
Can I use Storage Studio to move apps from one Mac to another?
Short answer: No — Storage Studio moves apps between a Mac and its fast drive, not between Macs. Use Apple's Migration Assistant for a new Mac.
No. Storage Studio moves apps between your Mac's built-in drive and your fast drive; it doesn't migrate apps between Macs. A moved app belongs to the Mac that moved it, because the shortcut and records live on that Mac.
To set up a new Mac, use Apple's Migration Assistant, then reinstall or move apps there. Before retiring the old Mac, use Move back for any moved apps you want to keep with it.
