Anyone have any experience of transferring stuff from an old computer running W10 to a new purchased, fresh-out-of the-bag computer?

Some time ago I bought an external HD (£50 / 1Tb USB2/3) and plugged it into my current computer to backup my docs & pics etc, which all works well. Logic was if my computer goes fails then i simply plug the ext HD into the new computer and job done. But if house burns down or gets burgled or current computer gets 'ransomed' then that will take the ext HD with it. Hmmm at that point i'll will curse myself for not coming to grips with the Cloud thingy! OK so how does Cloud thingy work?
to clone a hard drive i use a piece of software called Acronis true image, i maybe wrong but i dont think that is what you are after doing. if you just want to transfer files like pictures and docs, then as above use cloud storage or a large usb stick if you have lots of files.
Yeah, don't "clone" the drive. You are looking to transfer the data and potentially some apps, right?
If you clone the drive it will take the device drivers and settings from the previous hardware. It will also delete the same from the new computer.
...
I’ve got the data backed-up already.
It’s the apps I was hoping to be able to “transfer” across, by wire, and save a bit of time?
Contacting MS - its upsell away, £90 odd for win 10 (do one MS)
Or download the install media from MS for free and pay someone like https://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/ £10 for a genuine Win 10 Pro one-time key?
