Transfers by Dropbox, iCloud Drive, or OneDrive
Dropbox is a free service (for up to 2 gigabytes) that puts a magic folder on your desktop—of every machine you own, including your tablet, phone, Mac, and PC. iCloud Drive is Apple’s version of the same thing. It gives you 5 gigabytes of storage for free; it, too, is available on Mac, Windows, iPhone, or iPad. And OneDrive is Microsoft’s version; it also gives you 5 gigabytes of free storage.
Anything you put in there on one machine magically shows up on all the others. There’s no reason you couldn’t transfer your stuff from PC to Mac, a few gigabytes at a time, by dragging it into your Dropbox, iCloud Drive, or OneDrive icon on the PC, and then opening the Dropbox, iCloud Drive, or OneDrive icon on the Mac a few minutes later and moving your files from there into their new homes.
