I'll make a different recommendation- In the last days of your old laptop's use, install OneDrive and move all your important data into that base folder, otherwise maintaining the directory structure you have been using, but now with the OneDrive folder as the base. Leave your computer on all night to sync with the cloud. Then upon opening your new laptop, again install OneDrive under the same name, go to bed and leave your new computer on all night. Come morning both computers will contain the same data files. The best of both worlds. Apps? Carefully decide and re-install the ones you really need and use. Some you may have to first uninstall so that you may be allowed to install on the new laptop. Keep the old laptop for a year. Sometimes there is a buried gem you need to go back and get.

But don't you have to pay for Google tools too? My real need is for an Outlook replacement for the Mac, email and calendar working off of Microsoft Exchange Online. Using Office 2011 today but it has quirks in the current macOS High Sierra and Mojave.
