Migrate from Galaxy S5 to Moto X pure - newbie/senior citizen

[Alan FL]

I've been reading this forum for many weeks and finally joined today after purchasing a Moto X Pure on ebay last night (used).
I currently own a Galaxy S5 and wonder how difficult it will be to transfer my pics/contacts/music to my new phone. I have an app on my S5 that says Migrate. Is that a good way to do this?
I think it says to place one phone over the other? I've never done this before - this is the first used phone I've ever bought.
Must the new phone be activated before I can migrate? I already have a nano sim sent to me from Verizon, so I'm hoping it will be easy to activate.
I'm also purchasing a 64 GB sd card for this 16 GB phone.
Any tips will be appreciated.

It's extremely easy. You download the Motorola Migrate app to your Samsung and run the app on both phones and it sends everything over to your Moto X. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Google should also automatically migrate your contacts, too.
