I have OSX lion set up and running in MVware Fusion 13 on a 2019 Intel iMac.

Can anyone explain how I use Migration Assistant and to import settings, files and apps from 2007 iMac into the Guest VMware Lion

When I open Migration assistant from within MVware Guest Account Lion, Migration Assistant is not able to find any servers/drives/files.

I have external drives visible on Host desktop but Fusion 13 window identifies the external drive 'Lion (ASMedia ASM1156-PM)' offering me the option of importing to Host or Guest then states "unable to connect to its ideal host controller.” I am warned connection may make MVware unstable. I go ahead and click import and that is the end of the process. No external drive icon on Guest Lion desktop. Finder has external disk ticked in preferences for visibility along with HDD and iMacs etc.

I assume Migration assistant wants a Mac attached. So I connected 2007 iMac to 2019 iMac via ethernet and open file sharing on both computers. I also open Migration Assistant on 2007 iMac, set "To another Mac".  I run Migration Assistant from Guest Lion but Migration Assistant can find nothing. (I have detached all external drives for this exercise). Search spiral rotates ad infinitum.

Technogeezer asked me to check VMware USB settings which I found at 2.0. Decided to refit the garden shed while I waited for USB 2.0 to operate but not such luck, it is still spinning! Garden shed is completed.

Is this a limitation caused by the free, basic application? Any idea’s will be appreciated.
