I bought a new iMac a few months ago. I removed the old hard drive before I got rid of the old iMac. Now, I want to move the data from the old hard drive to the new hard drive… How do I do that…?
After you have the drive hooked up, as @danj detailed, use Migration Assistant to move your data.
You could use this tool [linked product missing or disabled: IF107-108-1] or plug in your HDD into a case like this 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure with USB 3.0 Cable
