bitstream image the drive.

Exact 1:1 copy, takes a couple hours, although tools can be a bit pricey.

If you have the opp... start fresh...

Reinstall your necessary apps fresh.

Enjoy your brand new machine running smooth without a bogged down registry as long as you can.

that might be easy to do unless your laptop is both the same brand. if not you might get hardware issues if you ghost the whole drive. but if only contents you can just use cross-over cable to transfer your files.
