I currently have a late 2013 iMac. It is booting from an external SSD boot disk and have a Time Machine back up on a separate external drive. Tomorrow I get my new iMac. Am I able to transfer my old iMacs information to the new machine from either/both of the external drives? TIA
 
Of course, should be an easy couple of steps. Before starting the new iMac, just connect either drive (whichever one you want to copy from). Choose that drive to restore from during the setup of your new iMac. It will take some time, so be prepared to wait for that process to finish.
And, that's pretty much all you need to do.
