But doesn't that assume that the new iMac comes with a macOS version that is same or newer than the source Mac?
For example, if the new iMac has Sierra 10.12.4, rumor is you can't use Setup Assistant to migrate from 10.12.6. And you can't update by logging in and running the App Store, because that would create a UID 501, and then you couldn't migrate the user account anymore. In fact, even knowing what version of macOS the computer comes with isn't clear. Maybe start it in Recovery mode before doing anything else? I'm wondering if the solution to the version problem is to erase the drive and install Sierra 10.12.6 (by booting from a Sierra install USB stick), then do the migration via Setup Assistant on the first boot.
