Nuke Windows from new desktop.
Install Ubuntu and all the software you can remember needing.
Create a single encrypted partition on the spinning disk. Easy to do now in the Disks app.
Pull that disk out, and migrate data from existing desktop encrypted drive to it.
Put the drive back in the new machine.
Create all required symlinks so that everything sensitive is on the encrypted drive, but the system drive is clean.
Start work, and fix everything that's broken, install missing things, etc. as you go.
