I probably wouldn't even realize where I was.
I mean, if I got warped into the Imperial City, sure, I'd recognize the White Gold Tower. Maybe. If I wasn't too disoriented. But the topic says "Nirn", and Nirn is a big place. I could be transported to anywhere on Tamriel, or even elsewhere like Akavir, given that this brand of hypothetical magic could go horribly wrong at any moment, and I likely wouldn't recognize any of the places because I haven't seen most of the Elder Scrolls universe. I would only realize where I was when I saw people and places that were distinctively not-Earth, like Elves and Khajiit and Argonians. I'm not even sure I'd recognize the Roxey Inn.
And, of course, all of our survival is based on somehow, magically, acquiring the same language spoken as well as rudimentary magical powers. So, hypothetically, assuming that happens, and that I realize where I am sooner, rather than later, I'd probably be quite successful, given that I know plenty about the world and knowledge is a wealth that cannot be stolen. And it all depends on whether or not I remain more or less human. Do I become a Redguard, Nord, Breton or Cyrodiil? Or something far more exotic. I'd prefer to be an elf, given the increased lifespan. Or go run off to Solstheim and become a werewolf.
realistically I'd probably prefer the cosmopolitan culture of the Imperial City over anywhere else. I'd try to make myself into something resembling a Dwemer and Divayth Fyr. Magic is terribly stagnant, and my knowledge of our 21st century technology could easily crush the terribly inefficient magic of Tamriel. My knowledge of Tamriel is secondary to the power that we possess now on Earth.
So my final answer: rebuild Numidium and reach heaven by violence.
