How to avoid using the automatic, Windows 11 data backup?

This might sound sacrilegious but, I don’t want to transfer over all the information from my old laptop to my new one. All my important files are stored in an external SSD and I would like to leave crappy programs like McAfee antivirus behind. How do I do this?

As soon as I logged into Microsoft Account while setting up my ASUS TUF A16 laptop, I’ve been just been left on this page forcing me to restore from my old PC. Please help!
