If you're sure that the old one has a virus (Macs dont often get viruses) first scan the old one with malwarebytes anti malware free version to see if you can remove the malware/virus


If you cannot remove it, and you're sure that your Mac is infected, I would not transfer any files to rule out cross-contamination
