If the paths are the same on both computers, and if you place your projects in the default location then copy all the files from here:
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\Studio 2021\Projects\
to the same location on your new machine.
Then move all your Translation Memories, Termbases etc. from the path they are now to the same path on the new computer.
Like this it's simple and everything will be there immediately apart from plugins which should be installed again.
If your paths are different, and if you work with single file projects, or put projects in different places, then it's a little messier, but as long as your paths are the same on both machines it can still be simple. Just copy this file from here:
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\Studio 2021\Projects\projects.xml
to the same location on your new machine.
Then copy all your saved projects and resources into the same location on the new machine.
It's not rocket science, just a matter of copying files. So you just need to know where everything is on your old machine and put them somewhere you can find them on the new one.

Thank you Paul. I copied the package from computer 1 to computer 2 in the same folder where the projects.xml file is, however when I open the files in computer 2, I don't see the segments that I translated in computer 1. I'm lost
The projects.xml file is basically a map of where all the projects are stored.
A Package is basically a zipped project that will have been provided to you by a customer or a project manager in your company.
When you open a package it will always be the same content as it was when you received it. But when you do open the package it is also converted to a project. This project will contain all your updates and it's this project that you need to copy to your new computer.
Since you have apparently opened the package already this means you now have a project which is ready for translation but with no work done on it yet. So you could simply copy the sdlxliff files from the target language folder of your project on your old computer, and paste them into the target language folder of your new project on your new computer. That should also get you what you want.
You could even pre-translate your new project using the TM from your old computer. So multiple ways to get what you need.
