Boot the new laptop using the USB stick into the Macrium Rescue Environment and restore the image of the old laptop's system drive onto the system drive of the new laptop.Disable Secure Boot on the BIOS of the new laptop, and enable the boot menu (F12 on Acer laptops).Create a Rescue Environment in Macrium onto a USB stick.Use Macrium to create an image of the new laptop's system drive (this way if things go badly I can just go back to where I started).Use Macrium to create an image of the old laptop's system drive onto an external USB drive.

I used an external USB SanDisk SSD, although it would have been even more straightforward to use a M.2 SSD adapter - but these are pretty expensive and different generations use different 'keys' so you need the right adapter for the job. The plan was to create an image of the drive from the old computer and restore it onto the drive in the new computer. I find these to be excellent value for the money and very reliable.
