If you have an existing system that already has accounts in it, Migration Assistant (which you can launch manually) imports all the accounts in the old system or external drive, but keeps the original account(s). This leads to having several accounts in the new system, which can cause problems if the original account and a new account have the same name. That's why it's easier to use SA (when possible) than MA.
Gotta contradict that, Jon.
I justSet up my new MBP with Setup Assistant.
I named my new account with the exact same name that I used on my old MBP.
I ran Migration Assistant.
MA told me that it was migrating an account with the same name as an existing account...what did I want to do.
I hit "Replace".
Everything was copacetic.
