How to Transfer Data From an Old PC Computer to a New iMac
Connect to the network. With a direct connection, simply connect the old PC and new iMac via a standard Ethernet cable. For network sharing, make sure both computers are connected to the same wireless network.
Connect the iMac to the PC. Open the 'Go' menu, located near the top of the screen on the iMac, and choose 'Connect to Server.' In the window that appears, type the network address of your old PC in one of the following formats:smb://DNSname/ShareName
smb://IPaddress/ShareName'DNSname' is the name of your PC, as found in the My Computer window of your old PC. 'ShareName' is the name of the designated shared folder on the old PC. If on a wireless network, 'IPaddress' is the designated IP address of the old PC.After entering the network address, click 'Connect' on the new iMac.
Enter your Windows user name and password on your old PC, if necessary. This will allow you to access and transfer data to the iMac.
Return to the iMac desktop. Your PC disk should show on the desktop. Double-click on the volume to open a folder and browse the drive.
Transfer files. In the iMac's Finder, simply drag files from the old PC disk to the new iMac disk and drop them in the folder where you want to store them on the iMac.
Unmount the PC disk. To help avoid accidental data loss on your old PC computer's hard drive, drag the drive to the 'Trash' icon on the iMac's Dock when you are done using it. If connected via Ethernet, you can now disconnect the cable from each computer.
