Reusing external hard drive on new Mac Studio for Time Machine

[Jodie99]

Good Evening Brian 

I am just wondering if it's possible to reuse my EHD that I used for Time Machine on my old Mac over to my Mac Studio? I used migration assistant to transfer all the info from old to new. 

I've read I need to reformat the EHD first. 

 

Thank-You!

Yep! You just need to delete the existing partition and create a new one. Is it a traditional spinning HD or a SSD / Flash Media Kind? The reason that I ask is it determines which partition type you use. 

It's easy. Takes like 5 min. Just let me know what HD type and we can use it on your new Mac Studio.
