Use the Migration Assistant app...
Transfer to a new Mac with Migration Assistant - Apple Support
Any Intel only apps you have will be migrated over but they will not be updated to Universal or Apple Silicon. That’s up to the developer of the app. macOS 27 Golden Gate is the last version of macOS that will support Intel only apps through Rosetta 2. You have another year to convince app developers to update their software.
