How do you transfer all data from the old to a new laptop without Windows?
I want to buy a new laptop, but how are all programs
Transfer photos, pictures, music, videos and downloads?
Depends on the amount and all. You can save files such as pictures and videos via Dropbox and drag them to the other PC. Alternatively, integrate a hard drive or both computers into the network and draw over the network.
Programs will be harder to reinstall.

you will have to reinstall the programs
You can copy and paste the files (pictures, music, videos, etc. On the new PC / laptop). You can use other storage media such as CDs, DVDs, USB sticks or transfer them directly from your old hard drive.

or / or. A suitable external connection option
Would install Windows on the new laptop first.
If the new one has a second slot, install the old HDD there and then transfer data.
If there are 2 different Lapi's, you will have to reinstall Windows, probably also the programs, because these integrate files in Windows.
Remove the hard drive from the old laptop and plug it into the new one? XD Then you have the stand of your old laptop as if nothing had happened, but Windows will possibly howl that other hardware has been recognized, etc. There you simply install the new drivers and maybe (it happened to me) you have to reactivate Windows again. But everything else remains as it is.
OR you get a docking station with clone function and 2 slots, then you remove the hard drives of both laptops and put the old one in the "source" slot and the new one in the "target" slot and press the "clone" button. Then he copies the plate 1: 1 onto the new one and then you put the plates back in again. I can recommend the "Sharkoon QuickPort Duo Clone USB 3.1 Type C" for this, the part is a blessing
Various data such as photos, videos and other downloads can be saved and transferred in two ways:
The "more cumbersome" variant via an external data carrier such as an external hard drive or a USB stick of sufficient size
The "easy" way via the cloud (OneDrive, Dropbox etc.)
In the case of an external data carrier, you only have to copy all the data to be backed up to it and then you can pull down everything you need on the new computer. At the same time, the data remains "backed up" on this data carrier because you only copy this data from the data carrier to your computer.
It's similar with the cloud, but you go via the Internet and don't need any additional data storage device. You can upload your data there and then access it via many devices (smartphone, TV, tablet, PC / laptop etc.) and download it if necessary.
Of course, what needs to be considered is the amount of data and the available bandwidth. If you have to back up several gigabytes, this can take a little longer via the cloud if you only have a slow internet connection.
OneDrive is integrated directly into Windows as a cloud and linked to your Windows account. 5GB of storage space is available at no additional cost, which of course could be tight if you have a lot of larger data to back up.
A USB stick with a fairly high storage capacity is no longer expensive nowadays and is actually always a useful part. 32gb sometimes only cost a few euro (~ 4-6 euro) and therefore offer a good, mobile and inexpensive option for data backup as well as transmission.
However, as far as your installed programs are concerned, you will have to reinstall them on the new laptop; transferring installed software from one system to another is actually not recommended. It is better to reinstall these programs on the new computer to get a "clean" installation. Problems do not always have to arise, but if you choose the new installation route directly, you can avoid many problems that can in principle occur.
