Bookmarks from Internet Explorer and Firefox will be brought into Safari, for example. System settings will get pulled over. You'll be able to specify what other files you'd like to bring over, too. Email, contacts, and calendar information are where it gets a bit tricky.
The bottom line is that Migration Assistant will pull over your email account information, and if you're using Microsoft Outlook, it should pull over your email messages, your contacts, and your calendars. Other programs may vary. First, connect your Mac to your PC either through Ethernet, or by making sure both computers are on the same local Wi-Fi network.
Obviously, there are other ways to move files between Macs and PCs. Thumb drives will work on both machines, so you can manually transfer whatever files you want to use, for example. But Migration Assistant provides an elegant, convenient and absolutely free way of managing the transition to becoming a Mac user, as long as you have the time to use it.

On your new Mac: Launch a Finder window. Most software these days is tied to an online account that limits the number of active installations or has digital rights management to prevent piracy via copying. MacOS has also long had the built-in Time Machine backup utility that lets you restore an entire Mac — applications, files, settings, and so on.
It resides in the Applications folder. You can use Time Machine to essentially restore a Mac onto another Mac — it clones the Mac, basically. Migrating a personal Mac to an IT-managed one, or vice versa, risks violating security policies, software licenses, and IT management standards. Tip: You can also restore specific files from a Time Machine backup drive onto a new Mac. Use the Migration Assistant utility, covered in the previous section, to do so. Time Machine is the gold standard for computer backup.
To set up backup, connect an external drive to your original Mac. Connecting the backup drive via USB or other wired port is the fastest method, but you can also use a wired or wireless network if your backup drive is connected to a Time-Machine-compatible router, as many recent routers are.
Restoring or cloning a Mac from Time Machine is a bit more complicated. First, shut down your new Mac, then connect your Time Machine backup drive to it. Be a little patient until the macOS Utilities window opens. You may get a list of available backups, since Time Machine maintains a history that lets you choose an earlier backup if desired, such as to restore a Mac from before it became infected with a virus or got corrupted.
In the next window you will be asked what drive to restore the backup to. In this case you want the startup drive for your new Mac; select it and then click Restore.
Now wait patiently for the restore, which can take an hour or longer depending on how much was stored on your original Mac. Restart your Mac when the restore is complete. No matter what transfer method you use, you may have apps to reinstall, depending on what IT did for you in preparing your new computer. For example, software that uses digital rights management may need to be reinstalled even after it is migrated using Time Machine or Migration Assistant, because the digital rights management may recognize that the underlying computer has changed.
It is best to deactivate any software that uses digital licensing before transferring it, then activate the software on the new machine after it is migrated or reinstalled. On your new Mac, re-download the apps you need and sign in as required.
