Transfer files from USB 2.0 to USB C (PC)

[Wameed]

I want to transfer files from my old laptop to my new one, and I have my phone's USB-C wire handy. I was wondering if it is possible to transfer from my old laptop by plugging in the USB 2.0 end to it and the USB-C to the new one?

Yes it is. Electrically the connectors are the same, the Type-C port is just shaped that way for ease of use, durability and such.
