I want to transfer about 5,000 photos in my old iMac to my new iMac which has about 20 Photos taken recently with my iPhone. Initially, Migration Assistant looks very good; then I discover MA doesn't work down to this level. How should I proceed?
Cheers

Either use an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) or iCloud Photo Library
If you are not using iCloud Photo Library quit Photos and drag the library to the EHD then shut down and connect the drive to the new computer and drag the library to it - the best place is the Pictures folder but be sure to rename it so you do not overwrite the existing library
If you are using ICPL then log in to the same account on both and let the library sync
