How to migrate network shares to Windows Server 2012 R2

Not sure if this falls into this category so I apologize in advance.

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Core OS (MyFileServer1) on the domain and I want to migrate the Network Shares for my departments and user's my documents to a Windows Server 2012 R2 (MyFileServer2) server. It is not a traditional file server that uses DFS or NFS roles/features. It was just a server and created shared folders then deployed via GPO Drive Mappings to my users.

I am trying to determine what is the best course of action on moving those folders over and keeping the Share/NTFS permissions to the new server. I am also wondering should I implement NFS on the server after the move? I do not think DFS is the best course because I do not expect my users to open File Explorer and put in the namespace to access the folder every time nor do I want to create a login script because I think that is to much overhead.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks!
