Got Thunderbolt Migration Assistant working! Had to do half of this: - connect Thunderbolt cable to both On source Mac: - create Thunderbolt Bridge interface - assign it a 10.0.0.x IP - enable Internet Sharing from Wi-Fi to the Thunderbolt Bridge - run Migration Assistant On destination Mac, never set up Wi-Fi. It’ll activate over that Thunderbolt shared-internet connection and never ask for a Wi-Fi network. (This used to be as easy as “connect them with a cable”.)
