I need to take downloads from one desktop to another newer win 11 desktop. What is the best way to transfer the data?

You can't actually transfer downloads -- but you can copy downloaded files.

 

To explain, there is no way you can point the target for downloads being done on one PC to folders present on a different PC.

 

The best way to do this is to insert a USB stick or drive into the original laptop, find the files using File Manager, copy them to the USB stick or drive, insert that into the second laptop, and copy the same files to a folder on the second laptop.
