I have a 2 TB internal hard drive with all of my files and information. Can I, or if I can, how do I transfer it all to a new computer?

I am going from Desktop to Desktop computer and I have tons of stuff I want to move over. The can ignore stuff like Notepad documents, pictures, music, etc. I can move over on a hard drive, but what about the personal stuff, like stuff on the C: Drive, eg. Appdata, Program Files x86, and the windows folder?

You should be able to move all of your program files and such pretty easily. You'll probably need to make a lot of folders, and put every program in a folder. For example, let's say you're moving notepad++ from your PC, to drive, to PC.

Make a folder on external drive titled Notepad++ (or whatever will help you remember). Copy the program into the folder Plug HDD into the PC you want to put Notepad++ onto. And then drag it to the desktop or wherever you want the program to go. If that doesn't work, you can try to backup your main INTERNAL HDD onto the EXTERNAL HDD.

You can follow this guide (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-backup-windows-10-automatically) on backing up an HDD to an external HDD. It has been easy for me in the past.

Hopefully I helped a bit, have a nice day!
