[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1648905, member: 175845"] You don't even need to involve or bother using Time Machine to access your data on the external drive. But when you setup the new iMac for your use, you might want to use your old Username and password when setting it up if it's not available to use with a Migration Assistant from the old external drive. That will help keeping the permissions correct and easier access. ;) [/QUOTE]
