I think I've got it all working now.
TL;DR:
1. Don't buy cases with GLASS panels (I didn't even realize it was glass, the one I bought for me is plexiglass)
2. F Google keeping your bookmarks in the cloud. (I've actually had it lose them all for people a couple times at work too!) Export them to back them up.
3. F Onedrive taking over your filesystem (It's been working pretty well at work, but it was an unmitigated disaster on my son's personal PC)
4. Don't buy a CPU with built in GPU if you can avoid it and you're planning to use discrete.
The LONG:
Putting it all together was pretty easy. I installed windows 11 pro. Updated all the drivers.
I brought over what I could, but he uses FL Studio (Audio studio of some sort) and that screwed it up where the most important plug in wouldn't work. Also got a bunch of errors that files weren't there when transferring the data.
Wiped it, started over and brought very little over.
Had an issue where Chrome wiped out all his favorites after he signed in. I tried to get the bookmarks from the old computer, but they were missing from where I saved them on the desktop when I popped the drive in the new one, back and forth several times and I finally figured out onedrive had somehow taken over his desktop, only the desktop wasn't there in onedrive, so the files just disappeared until I booted it back up. I eventually figured to put in in a folder on the root of c, and got them.
Chrome would wipe them out though replacing them with nothing every time I tried. I loaded them up offline on the old computer, exported from them and brought them over, but somehow it picked up thousands of old bookmarks and not the few he wanted. We ended up just deleting them.
Sounds like you should have wiped Chrome.
