VERY VERY simple, connect the old computers Time Machine Backup External Hard Disk via a USB cable to the new computer.
A) If you have never started the new computer, once you startup it will launch Setup Assistant, SA will eventually ask if you are migrating from another Mac. Select Yes. Then follow the on-screen prompts.
B) If you have already started the new computer, with the Time Machine External Hard Disk connected as stated above, launch Migration Assistant and follow the on-screen prompts.
