Can individual files be migrated vs everything? When using migrate utility, can only certain files be selected for transfer from old iMac to new iMac?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

With some Windows PCs, the Windows Migration Assistant doesn't work that well. I strongly recommend to copy over your files manually using an external storage device.
