How can I transfer games from one pc to another?

Question

Switched to a new Dell Slim Desktop and want to know what is the best or fastest way to transfer games from old pc to this new computer. The game files are pretty big and there are more than 100 GB in size. I tried using WiFi but the transfer speed is not good and the transfer got interrupted for two times. Could someone share a reliable and fast way to transfer large games files from one pc to another? I am running out ideals now!

By the way, the new PC comes with latest Windows 11 25H2. The old computer is running Windows 10 22H2.

Steam Game Transfer Method Old Computer Procedure: Open Steam → Navigate to 'Settings' → Select 'Downloads' → Locate 'Steam Library Folders'.
