Swapping Computers?

I knew that I had to upgrade even thought I was happy with the machine that I had. It's old enough that I can't put Windows 11 on it so I have the new upgraded model being delivered tomorrow.
Is there any easy way to transfer all of my programs and settings to the new machine so that it feels like the last one? Also going from a Dell Lattitude to a Lenevo Thinkpad Yoga.

Congrats on the Lenovo Thinkpad

It's an older i7 new one is an i5, but doubles performance across the board. I tend to only buy business class laptops for the durability.

You can’t back up programs. You install them.
Any programs on the prior machine will need to be reinstalled.
You can backup documents, music, pictures and the such. Anything in your C: users folder.

I can install Win 11 on a brick. I'm not a tech genius, any techie worth a damn can do it.

Is there anything that requires Windows?
If not, Linux is better anyway.

I can, but I don't want to. I've put Windows on Android phones just to test.

Nope, you’re screwed. Onedrive will handle your docs. You handle the rest.
In theory, you can maybe copy your app data folders for admin and user but I wouldn’t recommend that.
