Look into using Dell Migrate. You'll need 2 monitors or a monitor plus a TV that accepts HDMI input to use Dell Migrate.

Keep in mind you won't be able to move any application files, only your personal files.  Applications will have to be installed directly into Win 11 on the new PC. So make sure you have all the product keys, in order to activate the apps on the new PC.

@RoHe​ You indicated "Applications will have to be installed directly into Win 11 on the new PC. So make sure you have all the product keys, in order to activate the apps on the new PC." What applications? Please provide samples of applications? Microsoft Office? Much appreciated!

Microsoft Office, browsers other than Edge (eg, Chrome, Firefox), printer software, utility apps, Adobe Reader, etc.

Basically everything you use that isn't built into Windows or wasn't factory-installed by Dell (eg SupportAssist, Dell Update,  McAfee, Cyberlink software).
