  Two additions to Graham's excellent (of course! :-) post:

  The new computer will not only have different hardware, which will
require different drivers, but it will also very likely have Windows 11,
instead of your current Windows 10, so a one-to-one copy is also not
possible for that reason.

  When - or before - you stop using your old computer - and perhaps get
rid of it - use Macrium Reflect to make a complete image backup of that
computer and keep it 'forever', just in case there was something on the
old computer which you forgot to copy, were not aware of that it was
needed, etc.. You can restore files from the 'old' image to the new
computer. External disk space is cheap, so no reason not to have this
fallback. (I still have image backup of my previous computer and the one
before that, covering 10 years (from last use of the oldest one.).

  Hope this helps.
