It would be possible to migrate your laptop Windows 10 home to your desktop when both are activated for the same Windows edition but if your current Windows 7 OS is some years old, then you will be migrating any issues in that OS to your new computer too, plus bringing laptop feature & drivers that would never be found on a desktop.
Personally, if you are investing in a new Windows 10 desktop computer that has a clean install of Windows on it, I would recommend just bringing your user data across from the laptop and reinstalling your applications fresh on the desktop, assuming you have the necessary installers and licenses to do so.
There are more considerations with trying to move a Windows OS between different hardware platforms (laptop to desktop) than just restoring a backup. You also need to consider the BIOS boot mode that each computer uses, the SATA modes used by the disk controllers in the computers.

Lse, If you have done a clean (fresh) install of Windows 10 on your desktop, then you have the opportunity to keep that OS as clean as possible by reinstalling your apps in to that new OS environment, which will help keep the performance of the OS much better than migrating the old OS coming from the laptop.
In terms of copying your user data from the laptop, then there are several options that are open to you.
You can make a Files & Folders backup of the user data on the Laptop, taking care to not save the original user permissions for these files & folders in the backup archive. Then restore that backup archive to a suitable location on the desktop computer.
I would recommend choosing a temporary location when restoring rather than restoring to any folders in the C:\Users path. You can move the data later as needed and ensure you are not overwriting files that should be kept etc.
Note: the reason why you should not keep the original user permissions is that this will give you issues on the desktop if restored even if you have created a user with exactly the same name. Those 2 users on different computers will never be accepted as being the same user so permissions will never be correct!
Other methods of copying the Files & Folders would be to use a shared Cloud drive service such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box etc. Alternatively, you could copy the data using File Explorer to a USB stick or drive and then copy back from the same when connected to the desktop.

See the ATI 2018 User Guide: Recovering Files and Folders - which gives the steps to recover this type of data from both types of ATI backups (Disks / Files) or by using Explorer.

See the ATI 2018 User Guide: Adding an existing backup to the list for your backup on the external HDD from the laptop when adding this to ATI 2018 on the Desktop computer.
Then when the backup is shown in the ATI GUI.
