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.

Most vendors offer software that transfers data and some setting between computers. The problem is software. Any of that needs to be reloaded.

I wonder if you could clone the entire hard drive then after that do a Windows 11 upgrade. The Windows 11 activation should be built into your motherboard.

You'll probably just have to copy the items you want to save and manually put them on the new one.
