helped a user to restore whole OS from time machine to another Macbook_Pro-B which is 512G HDD. (old one is 256G HDD and didn't has enough disk space)

 

Macbook_Pro-B: 

After restored successfully, installed Office 2019 Mac. Imported Outlook 2011 to Outlook 2019 and uninstall Office 2011 using uninstall tool lastly.

 

Issue:

On Macbook_Pro-B, opening a specific vendor's pdf will display 'dot dot' text  and popup error as below.

Acrobat reader - cannot find or create the font 'Arial'. Some characters may not display or print directly
