I need advice on transferring from a Windows/Dell hard drive to an Apple Mac Laptop

Just copy the files you want to transfer to an external drive connected to the Dell. Then move that to the Mac and copy them from the external to your Mac.
Doesn't matter how the drive is formatted because OS X can READ Windows NTFS formatted drives.
I suggest you forgo the use of the Migration Assistant system as it doesn't work as expected and for the simple fact that no programs or settings can be transferred from a Windows PC to a Mac. Only personal files can be transferred and it is much simpler to do it manually.
