I've used time machine to back up a 2010 iMac, but it comes up with 255 gb of data/files, which is too much for the new 2022 iMac migration assistant to bring in. How can I easily move _only_ some music and photos over? A massive export/import? What port does my 2010 iMac have (USB 1 or 2)? does this matter? THANKS
iMac, OS X 10.11
Ah, I see. I’m afraid Migration Assistant can’t be that selective. You can try connecting them, then using Target Disk Mode to transfer the desired files- Transfer files between two Mac computers using target disk mode - Apple Support

Your 2010 iMac has four USB 2.0 ports - iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) - Technical Specifications
It gives me only 4 choices of what to move - 4 large buckets (apps, other files [my named files] and a system). The [my named files] is massive - I cannot go into sub folders to "find" my photos and music.
