Transfer data from desktop to laptop

[solis_2610]

Hi, i bought a laptop to replace my desktop pc, but i need to transfer the data from the desktop to the laptop. How can i do this? The laptop comes with a Usb C port, would that work? I don't have an external drive btw.
Thanks!

OK.
Games won't work.
Music/Pics/Docs, sure.

A large enough USB stick, and copy/paste.
Or, assuming they can both be connected tot he same router, shared folders.
Or DropBox, OneDrive, or similar cloud spaces.

well, for Steam games, you can maybe/probably transfer the whole SteamApps folder.
The tell the new Steam client in the desktop where that folder is.
Other than that...reinstall on the new system.
