Migration Assistant between Mojave and Catalina
Can I use Migration Assistant between an iMac running Catalina and an older iMac running Mojave? Or do I have to upgrade the older iMac to Catalina first?

Hello
I understand you want to know if the software on both Macs needs to be updated in order to use Migration Assistant. I am happy to provide you with information about Migration Assistant.
"Check software, settings, and power
- Install all available Apple software updates on both Mac computers. Install any updates for your third-party apps as well.
- Make sure that your old Mac is using OS X Lion or later.
- Make sure that your old Mac has a computer name: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sharing and check the Computer Name field.
- Connect both computers to AC power."
