Yes, it’s possible. Just copy the blockchain folders (blocks and chainstate) from your friend’s PC into your Mac’s Bitcoin Core data folder (~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin). When you open Bitcoin Core, it will detect the copied data, verify it, and then continue syncing the remaining blocks. This way you don’t need to download the whole 700+ GB again.
