In today's video we're swapping out my old, tired 2013 Mac Pro (Quad-Core) for my brand new M2 Pro Mac mini. This new Mac is getting installed in my livestream setup for use with Ecamm Live. I'm using Migration Assistant to transfer the data from my Mac Pro to the mini, and - by chance - Plugable had sent me their 16-1 Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station which ends up saving me when I needed to connect a second HDMI monitor to my new Mac mini...
