Am I worrying unnecessarily about getting a new laptop?

I definitely need a new laptop, this one is very slow despite repeated 'cleans' and getting rid of old files. I am just dreading the switchover, getting everything from one to the other. Some companies, like John Lewis, offer an installation service for around £65, but when I read the details, they are the easy bits which I can do anyway. Am I making something out of what is a minor task, or should I brace myself

The operating system (whether iOS or Windows) will have to be loaded before the transfer can happen, as you have to be able to connect both machines to wifi, but it is most unlikely that a non-expert would buy a laptop without one. I've moved all the contents of one mac to another a few times now, and it was seamless - a bit like getting a new phone.
