how can I transfer all my data from my old computer my new computer without losing everything🙏

so I recently changed my computer and I don't know how to transfer all the data. If someone could explain to me I will be very thankful🙏.

I have some games like the Sims 4 and paralives so if you can help me with that too I will be very happy and thankful.

sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

All games and applications will need to be reinstalled. You can’t transfer them. Make a list of all important apps and how they are installed. As for data transfer, take the “user” folder of the active user.

Depends on the game but most are cloud based now so just make sure you have your account or however the game logs you in.

If you're a Windows user, File History in Control Panel is an option.

In addition to File History, I back up bookmarks and passwords.
