many ways eg just copy your files on to a thumb drive and copy to the target location. Do you use onedrive? If so no need anyway.

You can only transfer data; any applications have to be installed on the new machine.

It is possible to network them but unless you are familiar with Network and file sharing it probably isnt worth the hassle.

As TTT says, a USB or use OneDrive/GoogleDrive if you have them.  Just be wary of putting files on 'free' Cloud drives, often the terms include their right to use things.

You could also buy an external drive holder.  I have a couple for he different size drives and then plug that to the new laptop where it will become another drive.  The use use the file Mangler to copy them over.

There's a fairly new tool that will duplicate much of your software installation.
