On your old Mac. If you turn it on and it instantly comes up with your user prompt. And then did the progress bar loading up after accepting your password. You had FileVault enabled. If it boots up and does a loading progress bar before prompting you to log in. Then instantly shows your desktop then you don’t have full disk FileVault on. (But you might have it enabled just in your home folder). That’s the nice thing about Mac’s approach o encryption. You kind of forget it’s there.
