Oct 30, 2015 10:54 AM in response to ZachVRby joe_7399,Hi ZachVR,
Congratulations on getting your new iMac. When sharing a Mac it is understandable to want multiple logins to make it "your own" for each user.
You have a couple options for migrating from your portables to the iMac, Migration Assistant and manual.
Migration Assistant would be easier but it would combine applications from each portable Macintosh HD / Application folder into the main Application folder on the iMac. Only if Applications had been installed the User's Home Folder / Applications would the applications be kept separate. You could, of course, not automatically migrate the apps then manually add/install them later.
Manually migrating data would allow you to pick and choose everything and where it goes, although it is a good idea to install apps from the installers.
If the reason you want to keep Apps separate is they were purchased under different Apple IDs you may want to explore Family Sharing.
Take care.
