New MacBook Pro and Old Hard Drive
 
My MacBook Pro is deceased (RIP), and I have ordered a new one. The old hard drive is fine.

Can I take the old hard drive out, connect it to the new computer via the Newer Technology USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U2NV2SPATA/), and copy applications and files?

Is this relatively straightforward process using the, "...when you first start the new Mac, you'll be asked if you want to 'copy from another Mac...' " process that you mention in your FAQ about a new Mac? And am I correct that this would be preferable to using SuperDuper! to copy the old hard drive to the new one?

As always, many thanks for the excellent assistance.

Stan

Yes, use the steps in the FAQ. Should work fine from the dock.
