<p dir="auto">One way could check out, the copy with CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner), if you have it or maybe a good excuse to get it as a demo.</p>
<p dir="auto">Or a similar product that works around the restriction altogether. That app allows you to access the User Folder and select a file/group folder(s) to copy/replace. Also you could port both the preferences and settings files at the same time.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have not tried this copy on different vintages (from Big Sur to Sierra in your example), so YMMV. </p>

<p dir="auto">If I want to retrieve MM settings from a Big Sur boot volume that i cannot boot from on this computer (Big Sur is not compatible on this new-to-me old Intel mini that I’m installing Sierra on), how do I get access to the Library folder in the Big Sur volume so to copy to the Sierra Library folder?</p>
