When I get a new laptop, I plan to hand down my 16-inch Intel MBP to an employee. He has his own personal 13-inch Intel MacBook (I think Pro? Maybe Air?) and presumably will want to migrate everything from there into this new machine. That's fine, but if he winds up doing any substantial amount of work stuff on the 16, I’d prefer for him to set up a separate macOS User login.
He has his own user account (with its own Apple ID that I control) on the shared Mac mini in our shop, so it feels like the preferred way to set up two accounts is to use Migration Assistant twice: once to bring over all the settings from his older MacBook, then a second time to migrate just his account from the mini.
Does anyone know if this is doable? Migrate a whole computer first, and then other user(s) as needed from other computer(s)?
Or should I just let him migrate from his machine and then set up the work account from scratch and hope that using the work Apple ID will bring over most of the data/settings we need?
