my advice:

require external drive.

1. download carboncopycloner here:

ccc free download, , it's free use 30 days.

2. use ccc clone contents of old imac's drive external drive.

3. have exact copy of contents of imac on external drive, in "plain old finder format".
can mount it, read it, copy 1 file or folder, or copy dozens of files/folders.

4. take new mac, , "move over" need move "by hand".
