You don't if you move from one relatively modern machine to another. My current laptop SATA SSD has moved between... 4 different machines, I think? I'll have to "make" when I move to an NVMe SSD, maybe, but it might largely just work. Time may tell. If you do things the Microsoft way, you just sign into your MS account and your files show up via OneDrive, your apps and games come from the Microsoft store anyway. There's plenty to fault Microsoft for. Like making it progressively more difficult to just use local accounts. I don't think "cloning a machine from hardware a decade old onto a brand new laptop may require expertise" is one of them.

"coping all the work and effort you've collected on your personal machine for a decade _still_ unaccountably requires expertise." If this were something so unusual that people would rarely want to do it this would be a reasonable point. The fact that this is such an obvious thing people want to do without having to have a monthly subscription first indicates that the product does not cater well to it's selected market segments.
