When I replaced my old PC I created a VirtualBox VM and copied that to the new PC while I gradually got everything installed and configured. It made the painful transition much easier.

Arrange your laptop so that when the lid is open, the Apple logo is facing away from you, and the Time Machine disk is off to one side. Then you won't have these problems any more.
