It's very easy to do if you have used Sync and logged in with a MS account, those settings will automatically be imported.
But since you are asking, I doubt you are sync'ing, so the usual path for your profile is:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\

In that folder will be everything you need to restore your profile,
-assuming the Edge version between the old PC and the new ones are not too far apart-.

Thank you :D So just move that directory over to the new laptop? In the same directory?

Correct, move or copy. it could be quite large, up to 1 GB or more based on usage.
Admin rights are a must.
