Re: ... Also copying off an external drive
Migration Assistant is not designed to install operating system software. That takes the macOS installer. MA is designed to install apps and user data onto a volume already prepared with an installed operating system. There is third party sw on the market that does an efficient job of cloning a bootable onto a formatted empty drive. I have two of them, ChronoSync and Super Duper, that do a terrific job.
