George,
The most simple method is using iCloud. Turn it on in both devices ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208681 ) and then ensure contacts is checked for each and you will always be synchronized between the 2 devices. I would do the same for all of your other files.

No, if you just deselect Contacts in iCloud on your new Mac, you won't see them anymore on your new Mac .
I guess you'll have to export and import them, but I've never tried it, so I'm not 100% sure. Maybe there is a more easy way to do this? Feel free to ask on this forum.

On both Macs, Go to SystemPreferences, iCloud and select Contacts
Hi Ria36
Thanks for replying, if I do that will the contact information stay on the new iMac even if I come out of iCloud?
Thanks
