Hi Brian, When you get a new computer from Apple, though, it has a specific version of macOS installed on it, and further, a hardware-specific "build". Your new Macintosh cannot boot from the older version and build of macOS that is installed on your older Mac, so simply cloning your old Mac onto your new Mac won't work.
Due to this limitation, Carbon Copy Cloner recommend that you use the Setup Assistant application (runs on your new Mac's very first boot) Once you have migrated your user accounts and applications using Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant, you can continue to use Carbon Copy Cloner to back up your Mac to the same backup volume that you were using for the old Mac. Use Setup Assistant to move data from your older Mac to a new Mac.
