Hey Dobermuffin,
Dec 21, 2017 On your old Mac: If you started your old Mac in target disk mode or are migrating from a Time Machine backup, skip these four steps. Open Migration Assistant. Click Continue. When asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option to transfer to another Mac. Click Continue. On your new Mac: When asked to select a Mac, Time. Nov 17, 2016 I am preparing myself for a new mac and will be using my time machine from the old iMac to transfer my files. Can I be absolutely sure that all my files, folders and settings are on Time machine and will be copied? Slightly confused by my Time Machine that sometimes deletes old backups to make room for new - what exactly has it deleted?
I know it is frustrating to lose the use of your MacBook Pro. I am so glad that you have been making backups of your data using the Macintosh Time Machine application. It will not run on a Windows computer, but as you have Macs available through your family, the best way to do this will be to recover your files to a Mac and then move those files to your new Windows machine.
The Migration Assistant application (located in a Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder) will allow your transfer information from your data from the Time Machine backup to the hard drive of another Mac. See this article -
In particular the section titled Migrate from a Time Machine backup or external drive.
Note step 8. You do not have to transfer everything including applications, computer or network settings. You can just select your home folder, or indeed just portions of your home folder.

Once you have those files on the other Mac you can use one of several methods to move them to your Windows computer. For small amounts of data you can just use a flash drive, you can use a Windows formatted external hard drive, or for a large amount of data you can network the Windows computer with the Mac and use File Sharing to move the files over the network. See this article for how to set up File Sharing on a Mac to work with a Windows computer -
And this one to connect to the Mac from the Windows computer -
I hope we see you back in the Macintosh world soon!
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Time Machine is not a method for transferring data to a new machine, it's for backups. You can't restore a complete older TM backup onto a new machine, since [you can't install a system older than what the machine shipped with|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186]. You could restore just selected files, but there are far easier methods.
Just use [FireWire target mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661], if possible, to connect the old machine to the new one and then use Migration Assistant to copy your stuff over. I would recommend reinstalling any third-party apps from scratch rather than relying on Migration Assistant to copy everything properly, though.
