Mini and Time Machine Question


ok have 2009 mini giving son, , have 2010 mini. have been using time machine 2009, , need restore backups 2010, both machines named macmini.

1) easy restore 1 machine or there sort of signature apple writes based on hardware when backing in machine?

2) once new 1 restored, can keep using existing external drive or should reformat have clean disk time machine.

have never had use tm restore before trying figure out should do.
 

on new mini, create different user account log in under 1 you're restoring. connect time machine backup new mini , use migration assistant restore time machine backup. should ask user accounts want restore. once migration assistant finishes, log in restored old account on new mini. i'm not 100% positive, should able continue use time machine new mini , backup usual.
