How can I migrate information from old SSD to new my MacBook Pro?
Is this a good question?

I only have old ssd cabled to new Mac. No keyboard, can't go from one migration assistant to the other
@richard osborne - Run the Migration Assistant from your new system. Plug in the external case drive and use it as your Target
It worked! Thank you for your kind and professional service

Hi Richard,
Everyone has their own ideas and ways to do this, and I've been in a similar situation and here's what I did.
First off, pull the HD/SSD from the new system and put it in your enclosure.
Install the old SSD and boot the MacBook.
Locate, download and install disk drive cloning software. I've had good success from Carbon Copy Cloner, but choose for yourself.
Plug in the new drive in the external enclosure.
Use your cloning software to clone from the old drive to the new one.
Once complete, swap drives.
Update OS/apps/whatever as appropriate.
Done this a few times and never had any significant issues. Hope it helps; let us know how it goes.
