You can use a Mac in Target Mode to transfer all the information to a new Mac using Migration Assistant even if your old Mac has some issue that will prevent it to boot. Just start the old Mac while holding the T key to activate Target Mode, connect to the new Mac, open Migration Assistant and select the old Mac "external disk" as your source.

I feel sad about the time of not knowing this amazing channel, even though I read MacRumors on daily basic. Videos don’t have ads, bullcrap, yet giving you so much things. Have a good one
