One thing you should do when you get your new laptop is clone the hard drive onto a USB hard disk. If your HDD ever crashes or gets seriously infected you can just use the saved image to reinstall everything as it was when you made the clone. The whole process only takes an hour or so depending on how much data you have. You don’t have to worry about activation, drivers, reinstalling applications, transferring your data files, etc.
I use Clonezilla but Redo Backup is also highly rated. Both of these are free. A list of such software is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_disk_cloning_software
Always worth the price of an external HDD with a new Windows machine.
