2. Restore on your new computer: On your new computer, go to System Preferences > iCloud > Restore Files and select the backup you created earlier. This will transfer your applications, settings, and data to your new computer.

Method 2: Transfer using Migration Assistant

1. Backup your old computer: Go to System Preferences > Migration Assistant and select "Backup" to create a backup of your applications, settings, and data.

Method 3: Transfer individual applications

1. Purchase and download applications: If you purchased applications from the Mac App Store, you can re-download them on your new computer by signing in with the same Apple ID.
2. Transfer application data: For applications that store data locally, you may need to transfer the data manually. Check the application's settings or documentation for instructions on how to do this.

Additional tips
