Following up on my first post asking for advice and tips and I have to thank u/mate94 for sending the link to this guide...
It worked perfectly. (A few of the screenshots are out of date but it's all there)
Have most of the Adobe programs I use downloaded and running,
iMessage works and now I'm just waiting on a Wifi/BT card.
Migration Assistant seemed to hang up for too long, so I cancelled it, and ultimately decided to install all the software from scratch and organize some drives so it wasn't needed. A little housekeeping never hurt anyone. :-)
Here's what I used...
CORSAIR Carbide Mid-Tower (Case)
CORSAIR H60 (Cooler)
CORSAIR RMX RM650x (Power Supply)
GIGABYTE Z390 DESIGNARE (Motherboard)
Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8GB GDDR5 (GPU)
i7 9700k - 8-core (CPU)
SAMSUNG 970 evo PLUS (SSD)
– Seems like the newer ones come with firmware fixes so no update needed.
– I wish I had gone with 500GB or 1TB instead of 256Gb, but it's only for OS and Apps so I should be fine.
Also...
I plugged an OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD (1TB), that I had from my dead Mac Pro,
into a PCI slot and it works perfectly.
All in about $1400.00... Which is a lot of savings!
Geekbench and Cinebench tests are all clocking great!
