You can't "copy" the software, you would have to install it on the Windows 11 computer and then enter your serial number. THis requires you to have the installer file (on CD or from a download) and it also requires you to know your serial number.

 

Moving the catalog and photos can be done following these instructions: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/
