Upgrading from 10 to 12 on New MacBook
The software licensing, old license surrender, license upgrade is all handled via iLok, it has nothing to do with any software install on a computer. You basically download and run the Pro Tools 12 installer. You do not do anything with Pro Tools 10 install. But (as always) you need to carefully read and follow the Pro Tools 12 installation guide.
The thing you really need to worry about is making sure all the RTAS and AAX-32 plugins you use are available in AAX-64 for Pro Tools 12 and you have all the installers you need. Everything else is following the iLok license surrender instructions you will get with the purchase.
Never ever use macOS system migration manager to move applications, plugins or drivers. (If you have, then stop and start over and do a clean MacOS install. You should reinstall everything from installers. Migrating user accounts, documents and sessions is OK to use the system migration manager for.
