The easiest way to migrate is simply by installing Plex as a new server on your new NAS and then copy videos to a new place. You can transfer videos either via USB backup drive or my mapping a NAS on your existing Windows server and copy data over via LAN.
When you get this far you new server will work and have all videos available.
One thing missing will be the metadata that records what you have watched etc.
You will need to copy plex app folder data to transfer this. This is more complicated part. Synology made it more complicated to find this plex folder on new DSM.
DSM 7
/volume1/PlexMediaServer/AppData/Plex Media Server
DSM 6
/volume1/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/
