I recently migrated my itunes from a PC running Windows 10 to a new MacBook running OS 12.3.1
Everything came over correctly (songs, playlists, most album art), but the playcounts did not come over completely. Some counts came over, but not all. For example the top 25 smartplaylist is dramatically different.

But did you import the media into an empty library, or open and convert the iTunes Library.itl file? Only the second approach would have brought in your play counts, they're not stored in the tags.

As noted, that gets you the songs, but not play counts, ratings, or playlists. To get those you need to press and hold down option when launching Music, and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would click choose and open the iTunes Library.itl file to convert to a Music Library.musiclibrary database.

All the music links are good. It’s only the counts that are not updated.
I imported the entire folder structure from an external hard drive.
