I suggest using XFAT, if you want an external HD that can be read and written to, by both Mac and Windows machines. - Brad - On Jul 20, 2021, at 14:18, <skipper8...@gmail.com <mailto:skipper8...@gmail.com> > <skipper8...@gmail.com <mailto:skipper8...@gmail.com> > wrote: I store my data in Dropbox, iCloud, and Microsoft OneDrive, but I also backup data to an external hard drive.

What I ended up doing, once I got the replacement Mac, was just copying my documents folder to iCloud, and then copying the whole folder to my Mac. It was actually super easy, and now the Mac and iCloud folders are connected, so when I make a change on my Mac, it’s reflected in the cloud. In the end, I was really happy with this solution.

I wish that Apple had somehow let us know that migration from Time Machine could be problematic, but even after everything, The M1 is the future. To eschew it just because you can’t migrate from Time Machine would be misguided.

In addition to the migration breaking Voiceover, when I went to erase everything and reinstall the OS, I was unable to do so. I could erase the disk, but was not allowed to reinstall the OS, which pretty much left me dead in the water. When I googled it, I read that this is a known issue with the M1 Macs. So, even though not using Migration Assistant is a royal pain, were I you, I wouldn’t chance it.
