Can I transfer my time machine back up onto a another laptop
Can I transfer my time machine back up onto a another laptop, but would possibly like to keep the old user profile data which already exists on that laptop ?

The support article you arrived here from provides this statement:
In this example, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If it has the same name as an account already on your Mac, you're prompted to either rename the old account or replace the one on your Mac. If you rename, the old account will appear as a separate user on your Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account will delete and then replace the account on your Mac, including everything in its home folder.
Does this answer your question?
