Can someone, with computer knowledge, please share their experiences in the process of migrating all of the programs, data, applications from an old computer to a new one?

I believe there is software out there that makes this process "easy". I would appreciate responses from anyone that may have gone thru this and what might be the best method to use. I may know may way around computers, but I do not consider myself any sort of expert.

Please help!
If you're going from 7 to 10, Laplink PCmover works great, but you have to get the professional version to have all the programs move. No idea if it works on 11.

There are a lot of ways to skin that cat, but for ease of use, pcmover can't be beat.
