NO, NOT EVERYTHING!  See below.

So how does that help me with this backup problem: How to transfer all 
my WiFi connection settings from my old Android 7, note carefully the 
Android version, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 SM-T719 to a Pixel 8a.

I tried a number of general data transfer programs to copy stuff between 
the two phones, but in the end got best results simply by copying 
everything conventionally via my PC.  However, the WiFi settings are not 
stored in the data accessible from a PC.
