With sync, there is no master. Any change on one member of the sync is sent to all other members.

if that is the case, then why have none of the bookmarks, tabs, or logins merged or shown on the new PC? i have everything selected to sync in the settings, but nothing is syncing
You can try to only connect the old device to a Sync account and make sure that the initial Sync has finished and then disconnect this device. If necessary you can reset the password to clear all data on the server. You can then connect the new device to merge data from the old computer on the server to the new computer. Because the old computer is no longer connected, you won't merge data from the new computer to the old computer.
Alternatively you can use a removable USB jump drive to transfer selected personal data.

If there is no master sync device, how do you prevent an old device from corrupting bookmarks on more recent devices?
